One science experiment that's gotten seriously out of hand
And as you call for the teacher you can't understand
Such simple pieces making up such simple forms
And it keeps on growing as they evacuate the dorm
But you're out there somewhere
As the world's twirling behind you
And you're out there floating about
But is this really what you had in mind
Was it by mistake that the fish crawled out of the sea
Were they meant to swim there forever and never become me
Did some volcano vault something you did not see
Or did someone slip inside on an asteroid piece
But you're out there somewhere
As the world's twirling behind you
And you're out there floating about
But is this really what you had in mind
You are the patience in a chess player's hand
You are the warmth I feel when I'm lying in the sand
Are you the breath that slips from the mouth of an angry dog
Well are you the shapes that I see when I'm lying in the fog
Lower me down
Lower me down
Lower me down
Lower me down, lower me down, lower me down
Hear the pounding inside
Trying like an answer to work its way out
Baste the world with moonlight
Keep the world from dying out
Hear the pounding inside
Trying like an answer to work its way out
Baste the world with moonlight
Keep the world from dying out
Lower me down, lower me down, lower me down
Lower me down, lower me down, lower me down
Lower me down, lower me down, lower me down
Lower me down, lower me down, lower me down
