Store (was: Aisle)

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

in the five minutes worth of lost time that i had,

when i was passed out on the supermarket floor,

i saw you at the head of the heavenly chorus.

and i heard your song ringing all through the store.

in the five minutes when my broadcast got pre-empted,

i saw you touch down. you were no longer dead.

i was happy to see ya. i had lots of questions.

and i put my hand to the wound in your head.

ah, the blood!

all of that blood!

all of that warm blood flowing freely from you.

in the five minutes when i was dead to the world,

in a place far away from my friends and my home,

i saw you with a smile on your radiant face,

amidst all of the cans and the glass and the chrome.

and in those five minutes, my signal was jammed.

the frequencies that i received were so pure,

that i almost believed that the sight of the hole in your skull

was a thing that my heart could endure.

ah, the blood!

all of that blood!

all of that warm blood flowing freely from you!
