Recollect me darling, raise me to your lips Two undernourished egos, four rotating hips Hold on to me tightly, I'm a sliding scale Can't endure, then you can inhale clearly Out of body experience interferes And dreams of flying, I fit nearly Surrounds me, though I get lonely slowly Moving up slowly, inertia keeps She's moving up slowly, slowly Moving up slowly, inertia creeps Moving up slowly, she comes Moving up slowly, she comes Moving up slowly, inertia creeps Moving up slowly, she comes Moving up slowly, she comes, moving up slowly In my home no chrome as clear as See me now with my nearest dearest Been there when I'm over careering Room shifting is endearing Between us is our kitchen Would you found my irritant's itching Been here before Been here forever Moving up slowly, inertia keeps Moving up slowly, inertia creeps Moving up slowly, inertia keeps Moving up slowly, she comes Moving up slowly, moving up slowly She comes, moving up slowly Inertia creeps, moving up slowly She comes There be no sound in my eidertown Awake I lie in a morning's blue Room is still my antenna in you Nylon burns the bedspread with two Gravity's zero see me stall I bounce off walls lose my footing and fall It can be sweet though incomplete though And the frames will freeze See me on all four's It's been a long time She comes, she comes I want to x you, she comes I want to x you, she comes I caught your radio waves I caught your radio waves Will you take a string Say you string me along Say you string me along Say inertia creeps Inertia creeps and she comes Say she comes, say she comes Say she comes, say she comes
