How long have we known each other now? Five, ten years, and I

guess we've changed, and we'd

run into each other in the subterranean

world... With the extras in their fright wigs and fins

on their way from funkhole to dugout... and

one night would keel over into another,

and there never would seem to be a day, and

hey, you used to say you were polishing up on your survival tactics

(techinques) for the end of the world... and

you, you used to dig your beak into my ear and say "nothing"

like a secret...

How long have we known each other now? Fifteen, twenty years maybe, and

certainly we've changed... and we'd

run into each other in the subterranean

world...

And before I knew you or before we met

oh yes, way before then I was

itching in the cradle, making my way to the slime pits & the sludge traps

looking for love... and

all the bushy brats turned out from the western burgs

minced in the powdermills, noctambulating around

nowheresville

and some were so desperate for sleep the only retreat was the

sad dormitory... yes, one would go for a rest (or a test?)

How long have we known each other now? up to thirty years I guess, and

maybe we've changed... and

didn't we see each other in the subterranean

world?

You, did you really have your headress? - Hmmm.... yes

I used to dress up

like a girl, and how did you ever make it back home? I... I...

I'd leave a trail of pearls. Did you ever see a doctor - or a priest?

oh yeah - a priest

do you remember the guy with the sign "the end is nigh"? That was

me (do you remember what was written on the back?)

and

Do remember the guy with a boxful of wind? or maybe it was a cassette

I don't really... I don't know either - or was it me?

How long have we known each other now? I've never seen you in my life

(forty years?)

How long have we known each other now? I've never seen you in my life

(fifty years)

How long have we known each other now? I've never seen you in my life

(sixty, seventy, eighty three years)

I hope that we've changed... and

we've never seen each other in the subterranean
