You're always finding out
   About the things that people never talk about
   I didn't ask to know
   But now I'm compensating as I go
   I know the script I'm in
   I'm only thoughts of heaven trapped in flesh and skin
   And from the world of men
   I try to tighten up the code again
  
   And the code is a play
   A play is a song
   A song is a film
   A film is a dance
  
   Boot me up on the Zen Machine
   Log me onto the Zen Machine
   Load me down
   Everybody get ready
   Hook me into the Zen Machine
   Sharing time on the Zen Machine
   Load me up
   Everybody get ready
  
   Sometimes it's clear to me
   Then for a moment I'm in timeless ecstasy
   There are no reasons why
   And everyone's a passer-by
   But when they've gone to bed
   A fire's burning on the screen and in my head
   And on a windy day
   You can smell it from a mile away
  
   And the smell is a note
   A note is a taste
   A taste is a hue
   A hue is a touch
