The capacity for innocent enjoyment
Isn't the kind of thing you learn out of your books,
There's a river of sensation running deep and wet and wide
And you swim it when you see it and you see it when you do not need to look.

Intoxication - God in the wine
Intoxication - everything all of the time
Intoxication - in every cell,
Want to feel you do that jelly-magic like you always do so well...

Now we spin around in ecstasy for hours
Feeling the current start to suck us from below
We are off to see the Wizard then we go to work again
Now the pure imagination shows us everything we ever need to know

(I'll say it again)
Intoxication - God in the wine
Intoxication - everything all of the time
Intoxication - in every cell,
Want to feel you do that jelly-magic...

(Oh...)
Intoxication - God in the wine
Intoxication - everything all of the time
Intoxication - in every cell,
Want to feel you do that jelly-magic like you always do so well...

Wine and silence hits you like a bullet in the brain
No way of knowing when Intoxication takes you out and then don't bring you back again...

Intoxication... Intoxication... Intoxication... Intoxication...

Intoxication - Holy words and holes and music
Slip it out and bite it off
Intoxication - Only he who feels it knows it
Only one heart beats up love
Intoxication - All we're hearing is firework music
Coming out the other side
Intoxication - No knowing no knowing no knowing
No knowing no knowing no...

Intoxication... Intoxication...
