Lyrics
I was looking to see some dreams drip from your fingers
I was working in that lonely place where memory lingers
If there were words, if there was hair that I could drag you back with
If there was one single little hook that I could break your back with

Oh yeah
Better get my head down there
Oh where?
Down there in that cavern where heaven grows

If there were words, if there was hair that I could drag you back with
And I'm gonna sweat beneath the light of a warm world

Oh yeah
Better get my head down there
Oh where?
Down there in that cavern where heaven grows

Out here in the street, naked in front of God and everyone 
And I'm just sitting here waiting for things to come
So cram that page baby 
You think I'm sweating like this just for fun?
And hey I know it's true but I just can't say it

Just one touch
And everything will be all right
Just one touch
And everything will be all right

The Slab (Studio)
On the original recording, the song is all drum and bass up until
the very end, when this is played over and over until the end.
