Formaldehyde

I can see wind upon the rise, here under glass I can see

Outside in formaldehyde waiting to set myself free

Up around the river bend I was separated from you

You became a citizen of a world held like a zoo

One step through the airlock

Where the chemicals can't get through

Up around the river bend I was separated from you

Like the ocean drips from the sky I sit here just waiting to be

I can see specimens in the jars, waiting to be

Up around the river bend the specialists changed you

You became a prisoner of a world kept like a zoo

Outside, real life - waiting for you and for me

Outside all our lives - awaiting the chance to be

Get away from me, get away from me now - it's all wrong

It's too late for me, it's too late for me now - it's all gone, you have gone

Will you pray for me, will you pray for me now - all night long

Up around the river bend

Up around the river bend Satan's angels fly

Hey everybody don't you know we can go outside

Yeah, we can party in the formaldehyde
