I heard tell of a man who fell off the earth
He went hiding to the scratches
That were cut in his name
Well, he caved in the ground device, broken
I wouldn't have believed it were it not for the proof
It was whittled in bone attached to the cord
And in the front of the cranium, the magic it felt
And there were calls and accusations
Curdled up in the speaker
He couldn't fight back
He was bubbles in the beaker
Thee unbearable lightness ov feeling
Thee unbearable lightness ov seeing
Thee unexorable needles that we're needing
Well, they can't be medicated they won't be erased
I heard a story of a man who jumped from a window
Just like Socrates before him they'd hauled him off to prison
Well, he rose up from the ground aided by the brethren
He was enraged with suspicion car bombs on the street
And he prophesied of cells
And their alienation
Incanted before flames on his hotrod Lincolon
Stripped before hostages and blamed for their treason
He couldn't get out from under the pendulum
They'd left him
Thee unbearable lightness ov feeling
Thee unbearable lightness ov seeing
Thee unexorable needles that we're needing
Well, they can't be medicated they won't be erased
Thee unbearable
Thee unexorable
