Hysterical (#2) Lyrics

and the gas light went out
and we all took our places
and we stood very still
with paralyzed faces
take down the stage
fire the narrator
went deaf and dumb the first day
he became quite hysterical
the symptoms were white hot
accompanied with white spots
in the eye, in the eye
of the storm
well we are warm
we are warm and hysterical
it is hot and unbearable
and the pipes
well they're all hissing
"when we are missed we are missing out"

and the doors they don't shut
and the smiles are fading
counted three hawks dive
in the time we were waiting
well here comes the heartbeat
those ribs they're a miracle
the harbor holds your mother
we love you hyterical
