The Spirit - Live
[Instrumental Intro]
[Spoken Intro]
[?]
[Instrumental]
[Guitar Solo 1]
[Verse 1]
Such distance to the tips of the fingers
The ganglion loom jerks inside;
The body gets steadily stranger
[Refrain]
But the spirit survives
[Guitar Solo 2]
[Verse 2]
That sharp halogen flash jars the eyeball
The limbs pump in overdrive;
The body gets steadily weaker
[Refrain]
But the spirit survives
[Verse 3]
Yes, and the ash-mark stands out on the forehead
As the vacuum sneaks up on the eyes;
Oh, the body becomes a constant traitor
[Refrain]
But the spirit survives
[Guitar Solo 3]
[Verse 4]
And thеy call that living a normal life
But normality's not standardised
The body gеts ever more root-bound
[Refrain]
But the spirit survives
Oh, the body gets steadily stranger
But the spirits survives
[Outro]
Yes, the spirit survives
