24
Although she was tense and lean in the sun Splintered like a country
25
Gently pulled his finger
26
Everything is soakin' and spread with butter
27
Their flowers on an average [on the seed?]
28
And then they laid her on the table
29
She connected with the inhaler
30
And the needle shiftin' like crazy,
31
She was, she was completely still.
32
It was like a painting of a vase,
33
She just lay there and the gas traveled fast
34
Through the dorsal spine and down and around
35
(I want more)
36
The anal cavity, her cranium
37
(I wanna score)
38
Just, it was really great, man,
39
The gas had inflicted her entire spine
40
With the elements of a voluptuous disease
41
With a green vapor, made her feet light
42
Baby want more
43
Baby was it in the closet.
44
Baby get it there, baby tag it,
45
Baby got it and baby begged for it, baby

I don't think (after station) there's any station
47
(I remember when)
48
Quite as interesting to me
49
(baby worship something)
50
As the 12th station
51
(laughin' at the flowers)
52
I tuned in (to the tower) too many centuries
53
Were calling to me
54
And I spin, come down thru time
55
Oh, watch them say you're too high
56
And I swim through
57
Hear it on the radio, goddamn in my radio,
58
Hear it on the radio, hear it on the radio
59
[babble]
60
one long ecstatic pure sensation
61
restriction started excreting, started excreting, ah exhilarating
62
bottomless pit
63
Hey Sheba, hey Salome, hey Venus eclipsin' my way ah.
64
Her vessel, every woman is a vessel, is evasive, is aquatic.
65
Everyone, silver ecstatic, platinum disk spinning
