Lyrics

I'm ready to try this
The centre's a sea pit
I could be wealthy
With nothing to stop me

I'm ready to try this
(I move underwater)
The centre's a sea pit
(I eat what I slaughter)
I could be wealthy
(Inside a moon and palace)
With nothing to stop me
(Let's rain another chalice)

Out and out and out
Out and out and out
Shake a fist
And let's breathe within, without
[repeat x4]

You said if I tried this
(I'd be teleported)
But when you first tried this
(Your mind de-contorted)
And if this is heaven
(I might have to tell you)
I'm gonna give hell, just
(A quick once over)

Out and out and out
Out and out and out
Shake a fist
And let's breathe within, without
[repeat x4]

[spoken]
"Before we go any further I'd like to show you all a game I made up.
This game is called 'Sounds of the Studio'.
And it can be played with any record, including this one.
You may be surprised.
Now if you have a pair of headphones you better get 'em out and get 'em cranked up.
'Cause they're really gonna help ya"

That's a pure solution
That's my magic potion
That's the incantation
[repeat x2]

Bahhhh

Out and out and out
Out and out and out
Shake a fist
And let's breathe within, without
[repeat x4]

You said if I tried this
(I'd be teleported)
But when you first tried this
(Your mind de-contorted)
And if this is heaven
(I might have to tell you)
I'm gonna give hell, just
(A quick once over)

I'm ready to try this
(I move underwater)
The centre's a sea pit
(I eat water slaughter)
I could be wealthy
(Inside a moon and palace)
With nothing to stop me
(Let's rain another chalice)
