What is the noise that you hear?
Identify the sounds in the noise
How is the movement of sound structured?
Feel vibrations around you?
Is your perception with its rhythm?
Have you captured the beat?
Fall out of The Loop
Fall into The Loop
Out of The Loop
Within The Loop
Out of The Loop
Within The Loop
One was approaching from the North Side
The other approaching from the South Side
Four lights approaching from opposite angles.
The point of conflicting contact
Is in the centre of The Loop
Fall out of The Loop
Fall into The Loop
Out of The Loop
Within The Loop
Out of The Loop
Within The Loop
Most had terrible thoughts about such junction
From the North and the South.
Some were afraid of the impact
Caused in the wake and echoes
Fall out of The Loop
Fall into The Loop
Out of The Loop
Within The Loop
Out of The Loop
Within The Loop
What an event could be produced
The sound of the noise
From such creation
The power of energy in motion.
Others were happy that the time was now
Fall out of The Loop
Fall into The Loop
Out of The Loop
Within The Loop
Out of The Loop
Within The Loop

Put that man back in his place!
Put that woman back in the kitchen!
Put tape over the child's mouth and dress him up for display!
Put that away!
Put everything away!
Put those ideas in the rubbish!
Put your mentality with everyone else!
Put the Blacks back to Africa!
Put the foreigners on the Moon!
Put that away!
Put everything away!
Put all the socialists back in Russia!
Put all the Serbs in the graves!
Put the musicians in jail!
Put their recordings on the bonfire!
Put that away!
Put everything away!
Put the public schools under religious control!
Put Public Housing on the auction block!
Put yourself in jail!
Put yourself to death!
Put that away!
Put everything away!
Put all the trains in the junkyard!
Put cameras on every street corner!
Put TVs in every home!
Put adverts on every wall!
Put that away!
Put everything away

SMART BOMBS!
SMART CARS!
SMART COMPUTERS!
SMART PHONES!
SMART METERS!
SMART HOUSING!
SMART PLANNING!
SMART TVS!
SMART! SMART! SMART! EVERYWHERE!
Question
Question!
I have a question!
Is it really Smart?
SMART means:
Stupid Methods Authoritarian Reactionary Totalitarian
I'm too stupid to be smart (2X)
If you're so smart, why ain't you rich? ((2X)
I would rather be stupid and free than smart and a slave.
I would rather be stupid and free than smart and enslaved.
Smart, eh?

Transition
03:35
|

Shift velocity then accelerate
Thinking straight moving forward
Seeing straight being advanced
Green lights all in sight
Traveling at speed moving flight
Live in peace prepare for war
Stand up with steady hand
Firm grasp steel grip
The conductor not the motor
Zugführer statt Lokführer
Remain human with emotion
Feeling joy experiencing pain
Heating anger hot energy
Generating power gathering steam
Breathing in panting out
Maintain focus sharp eyesight
Meticulous not frivolous
Combing through fine details
Untangling knots removing kinks
Nitpicking not picnicking
Charging boldly without fear
Kling klang not bling bang
Rolling rocking grooving smoothly
Flowing floating surfing currents
AC/DC Diesel Electric
Rise up be present
Pay attention attention pays
Great thrills no frills
Hold strain train patience
Revealing self showing strength
Find balance centre gravity
Resisting drag gaining momentum
Ascending high digging deep
Profound words enlightened wisdom
Making sense proper speech
Refined excellence discriminating taste
Not make-believe real serious
Living truth discrediting lies
Security with sincerity
Armed with knowledge shielded by doubt
Detecting deception sidestepping distraction
Skipping nonsense ignoring trivia
Forgetting lies remembering facts
Dotting I's crossing T's
Walking tall smashing walls
Climbing heights reaching peaks
Striving far
Open minded free hearted
Clean spirit pure objectives
Bells ringing
Nature chanting
wind listening
Seas singing
Waves crashing
Lions roaring
Eagles soaring
Radar up sonar on
The final call all aboard
Hurry along the train is leaving
The destination another nation
Between dimensions using perception
The transition is now in motion

Can U Take It?
Well can you?
Can U Take It?
The future is now
No talk no speculation
The present is all
With past as a compass
Through dimensions of
Rapid Kinetik Elektrik
Interborough Rapid Transit
The letters
The symbols
The beats added rhythms
The side elektrik shoes
Painted stripes of blue
The lights go out
We rocket and tumble
The lights go out
On wheels of steel
Emergency brake handle sways
Back and forth
Forth and back
The bottom bounces up and down
Two Green lights!
The switch is here!
The switch is clear!
Hold on grab a pole!
We bounce on through
The lights go out
Brake handle pushed
Into the station
Slow it down
The cars are through
Express Downtown
This is 72nd Street.
What day is it?
It's night blind one.
What month is it?
It's a different month.
What year is it?
It's the year Anti-Christ.
What time is it?
Time to wake up!
Why is it?
It's the will of it.
What is it?
It's a whatnot.
.Who is it?
You are it!
Who are you?
I'm not you.
Faust!
Where are you?
Show your face!
Take responsibility for what you've done!
Look around!
Was it worth it?
On top of the world.
All for yourself
Everyone killed.
Reign individual
The emotional plague
Dominate and conquer the empty space.
The vacuum in your grasp
You master of universe!
Can U Take It?

Prior to Der Kosmonaut was the IRT.
