XCVII

IT'S A NICE KARAOKE YOU KNOW
WHEN THE KARAOKE IS BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL
THAT'S A GOOD KARAOKE

MUSICAL VALUES THESE PERFORMANCES DON'T HAVE
WHAT THEY HAVE INSTEAD
IS A MESSAGE ABOUT IMPROVISATION
THE INFINITE POSSIBILITIES
IT'S A DEMONSTRATION OF INFINITY

THIS IS A FOUR-POLAR PERFORMANCE
ONE OF THEM IS THE KARAOKE
I DON'T REMEMBER TO WHICH POLE IT BELONGS

&

IMMENSE AMOUNT OF VERSIONS
ARE WITH THESE FOUR MOTIONS OF THE CROSS

GESTURE IS A MOTION YOU CONSCIOUSLY DO
TO EXPRESS SOMETHING OR TO INVOKE
MOST MESSAGES ARE TRANSMITTED BY GESTURES
GESTURES, SYMBOLS AND WORDS
BUT THE WORDS IS THE THIRD
GESTURE IS THE FIRST

THIS GESTURE - YOU REMEMBER
THE SALUTE OF THEM - THEIR SALUTE
IT WAS FOUR DIMENSIONAL  MAXIMUM

WE TURNED IT INTO FIVE 
THAT IT HAS TWO PARTS  ONE-TWO
WE DO AS MUCH AS WE CAN
BUT THE MAIN GOAL IS THE RETURN

&

YOU MAY NOT DIE AT FIGHT
FROM BATTLEFIELD IT GOES TO HELL DIRECTLY
OF COURSE - YOU HAVE TO CEREMONIOUSLY DIE
CEREMONIOUSLY DIE
YOU MUST - TO GO TO HEAVEN

FROM THE TRENCHES YOU DON'T GO TO HEAVEN
FROM THE TRENCHES YOU ONLY GO DOWNER

THE LAST FLASH  ON THE RETINA OF THE THIRD EYE
THE LAST FLASH  THE LAST FOCUS
THAT'S WHAT BUILDS YOU INTO THE NEXT WORLD
IT GOES BY VISIONS

&

YOU DON'T EVEN NEED TO CROSS THE BARDO IN THOSE CASES
WHEN YOU GO DOWN
BARDO IS FOR THE MIDDLE CLASS
THE MIDDLE CLASS OF THE DEAD IS THE BARDO FOR

AND THE ILLUMINATED GO TO HEAVEN
IN THE SAME DIRECT WAY
NOTHING HAS CHANGED IN THE SET-UP  NOTHING HAS CHANGED

ABSOLUTELY THE SAME SYSTEM  JUST THE LAW
THE LAW HAS CHANGED
THE LAW HAS CHANGED
THE JUDGEMENT  THE LAW

THE JUDGEMENT IS BASED UPON PEACE
THEY JUDGE US BY PEACE
IT DON'T MEAN YOU DON'T HAVE TO KILL THE CRIME
YOU HAVE TO - BUT BE CAREFUL

&

WAR DOESN'T KILL THE CRIME
WARS ARE THE WORST SCENARIOS WE CAN PRODUCE
WARS ARE TERRIBLE AND THEY ARE COMPLETELY FORBIDDEN

THE DIVINE TERROR OF PEACE
THAT'S WHAT WE ARE TO INTRODUCE
THAT'S WHAT THIS IS
BUT THIS IS MORE IMPORTANT
WE HAVE TO PREPARE THE DEPARTURE IN SECRET

&

IT'S NOT THAT OUR BODY FLIES TO SYRIUS
THE BODY IS LEFT BEHIND
IT'S A SPACESHIP WHERE THE BODY IS LEFT BEHIND

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT - ONLY THE SPIRIT MATTERS
THE BODY DOESN'T MATTER, NO
IT'S A HOUSE THE BODY - YOU JUST LEAVE YOUR HOUSE
NO ONE WILL OCCUPY IT
IT WILL JUST ROT  AWAY

AND IF YOU PUT THESE BALMS ON IT
TO MUMMIFY IT - IT'S ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS
THE EGYPTIANS WERE ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS
THIS MUMMIFICATION - THE MOST RIDICULOUS THING
IT SHOWS HOW BLOODY LOW THAT CULTURE WAS

NOT WRITING ANOTHER BOOK OF THE DEAD
IT'S OKAY THE TWO WHAT IS THERE
THE UNINFORMED GETS VERY WELL INFORMED FROM THEM
BUT THOSE THAT ARE INFORMED  THEY DON'T NEED IT
CERTAIN THINGS GO BY THEMSELVES

&

THE RIGHT IS ALWAYS WRONG
THAT'S HOW THEY OVERCOME THE FORCE OF POLARITY
BY THIS DIALECTICAL PERCEPTION
WHAT WE ARE CAPACITATED FOR

IF SOMETHING IS WRONG THEN IT'S ALL WRONG
EVEN NEIL YOUNG KNOWS IT - EVERYBODY KNOWS IT
IF SOMETHING IS WRONG NOTHING CAN BE RIGHT
ONE THING EFFECTS THE WHOLE

&

"YOU DIDN'T KNOW I WASN'T FREE
WHEN YOU FELL IN LOVE WITH ME
AND WITH ALL YOUR YOUNG HEART
YOU LEARNED TO CARE"

EBOLA PLAGUE IS COMING
THE PLAGUE  A PLAGUE ON THE TOP OF ALL IS COMING
A PLAGUE IS COMING ON THE TOP OF IT ALL
A PLAGUE IS COMING ON THE TOP OF IT ALL  OOH
IS IT WELL CALCULATED OR MISCALCULATED

VIRUS  WHAT A VIRUS IS
ANSWER ME  ANSWER ME MAN
WHAT IS A VIRUS
SO WHAT IS A VIRUS

THE ANCIENT MEANS OF EXTERMINATION IS THE VIRUS
THE MOST ANCIENT MEANS OF EXTERMINATION

&

WAR IS ALSO A VIRUS
IT SPREADS EXACTLY THE SAME MANNER
BECAUSE WAR YOU WAGE  IT'S NOT SO OBVIOUS
BECAUSE THE WAR YOU WAGE BUT
YOU WAGE THE WAR BUT STILL IT'S A VIRUS

NOBODY'S RIGHT IN A WAR
OUT OF QUESTION - FORGET ABOUT THAT

&

WHAT WE HEAR NOW
IS WILLIE NELSON'S VERSION OF SEPTEMBER SONG
IT'S VERY HONEST  IMMENSELY GREAT
BUT IT'S NOT THE BEST COVER OF IT

THE BEST IS THE LOU REED VERSION OF IT
AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS IN-BETWEEN
ALL VERY VERY GOOD
YOU CAN'T REALLY COVER WRONG THIS SONG
IT'S ONE OF THE SAFEST YOU CAN PICK

IT'S SO AMAZING TO ME TO REMEMBER
HOW SCHÖNBERG HATED WEILL

HOW SCHÖNBERG HATED WEILL

THERE ARE SUCH STRANGE ANIMOSITIES AROUND
STOCKHAUSEN DID NOT HATE V2 SCHNEIDER DID HE

&

SURROUNDED BY EVIL IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO MOVE
WHEN YOU FEEL THE EVIL  THE PRESENCE OF EVIL AROUND YOU
NOT EVEN SEE THEM  JUST FEEL THEM
THEN YOU'RE NOT NORMAL
IF YOU FEEL WHAT YOU DON'T SEE YOU ARE NOT NORMAL 
THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT TO SEE IT

AS LONG AS IT'S HAPPENING TO THE OTHERS
WE HAVE BEEN SAVED
BECAUSE WE ARE COMPARATIVE BEINGS, YEH
WE ARE COMPARATIVE BEINGS

WE ARE LIVING OUR LIVES IN COMPARATIVE MOOD
IT'S A STATE OF THE TALKING HEAD
THE COMPARATIVE MOOD - THAT'S WHEREIN WE LIVE
WE COMPARE EVERYTHING WE ARE AND DO
WITH THOSE OF OTHERS

&

MEASURED BY THE VISIBILITY SPHERE
YOU MAY THINK ANY HORRIBLE THINGS
AS LONG AS IT DOES NOT MATERIALIZE
THERE IS VIRTUALLY NO PROBLEM

NO BABY, THEY DO NOT READ YOUR THOUGHTS
THEY'RE NOT INTERESTED
THEY ARE INTERESTED IN WHAT YOU DO
THAT'S WHERE YOU ARE MEASURED SOLELY

YOU CAN HAVE BEAUTIFUL THOUGHTS
BUT IF YOU ARE A BAD CARPENTER
THAT'S HOW YOU WILL BE JUDGED
THAT'S HOW THE JUDGEMENT GOES

&

FEEDING ON ECSTASY
BROWSING PORNOGRAPHY IN QUEST OF ECSTASY
ONE SIDE GOES TOWARDS VIOLENCE
THE OTHER SIDE GOES TOWARDS ECSTASY
THAT'S THE DIVIDING LINE OF THE PORN ERA
THAT'S WHERE WE HAVE TO DRAW THE LINE
IT'S A TINY BIT BLURRY BUT NOT MUCH

MANY PEOPLE GET ECSTASY FROM PAIN
BUT IT BELONGS TO THIS SIDE
THE INVOLUNTARY PAIN BELONGS TO THE OTHER SIDE
YOU GO TOWARDS THE VIOLENCE OR YOU GO TOWARDS THE ECSTASY
YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN ECSTASY AND VIOLENCE
IT'S SO DIFFICULT, RIGHT
SO BLOODY DIFFICULT

THERE IS NOTHING YOU MAY DO ALONE
WHAT YOU WOULDN'T DO IN PUBLIC

&

AND WE ARE ON THE WINNING SIDE
AND WE ARE  WE ARE ON THE WINNING SIDE
ONLY TWENTY-FIVE PERCENT  ONLY ONE QUARTER
ONLY ONE QUARTER  ONLY ONE QUARTER
IS ON THE VIOLENT SIDE - ONLY ONE QUARTER
ONLY ONE QUARTER 
IT'S ONLY ONE QUARTER WE HAVE TO GET RID OF
WE HAVE TO GET RID OF
ONE QUARTER ONLY  ONE QUARTER ONLY

ONE YEAR MARTIAL LAW
COULD ELIMINATE ALL THE PREDATORS
AND THEN WE COULD START
IF IT'S NOT THE MISSING CHILDREN WHAT WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH

&

THAT'S ALL  I AM TO PROMOTE
THAT'S ALL I HAVE INVENTED
THE OVERNATIONAL SOCIALIST PARTY FOR
TO FIGHT FOR THIS ONE - TWO CAUSES
TWO CAUSES IN ONE  TWO FOR ONE

KILL THE CRIME AND SAVE SEX
KILL THE CRIME  SAVE SEX  AND THE TEN COMMANDOS
NOW SHOW ME A SIMPLER FORMULA
THIS CARD IS A WINNER

IT'S IN THE BACK OF MY MIND
THE ALTAR  THE ALTAR
IT'S ALWAYS BEEN IN THE BACK OF MY MIND
I'M A HOLY MAN  I'M A HOLY MAN
I'M CARRYING THE ALTAR
IN THE BACK OF MY MIND

&

IT'S OVER  IT'S OVER
IT'S NOT OVER  IT'S OVER
IT'S NOT OVER  IT'S OVER
IT'S NOT OVER  IT'S OVER

IT'S OVER  IT'S NOT OVER  IT'S OVER  IT'S NOT OVER  IT'S OVER
IT'S NOT OVER  IT'S OVER  IT'S NOT OVER   IT'S OVER
IT'S NOT OVER

ALWAYS HAVE TO START WITH THE POSITIVE
THE TEN SAYS IT'S NOT OVER
THE DIGITAL WORLD  DIGITAL WORLD
THE DIGITAL WORLD OF TEN
THE DECIMAL GOD SAYS: IT'S NOT OVER
DON'T COUNT IT AGAIN

&

THE TEN  THE TEN IS OUR SOLE DEFENCE
THE TEN IS OUR SOLE DEFENCE
DON'T SETTLE WITH ANYTHING LESS
DON'T SETTLE WITH ANYTHING LESS
THAN TEN

WE GO BY A NEW TIME SYSTEM
AS COMES WITH A NEW CLOCK AS WELL
IT'S THE SAME CLOCK DIFFERENTLY SHARED
THE SAME TIME UNITS DIFFERENTLY SHARED

THERE IS THE DAY - NOTHING YOU CAN DO WITH THE DAY
IT STAYS AS IT IS BUT SHARED INTO TEN PARTS
IN STEAD OF 24 BY THE HOURS

EVERYTHING'S LEFT
FORENOON  AFTERNOON  EVENING  MORNING
ARE ALL THERE
THIS DAY  SOLAR DAY  JUST SHARED INTO TEN PARTS
INTO TEN UNITS  HEY HEY

&

WHAT IS BETTER IN IT I DON'T KNOW - THEY KNOW
IT IS BASED ON THE DEPARTURE
COUNTING OF THE DEPARTURE IN SECONDS

THERE WAS AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE BUILDING
THAT WAS THE CONTINUOUS DEPARTURE
EVERY 14.4 SECONDS IS A SOUL TO DEPART

IT'S A BIG INDUSTRY  DEATH INDUSTRY  DEATH FACTORY

&

YOU WANT TO FEEL BABY I KNOW
YOU WANT TO FEEL BABY
I CAN'T HELP YOU  I CAN'T HELP YOU

GO INSIDE - IT'S ALL INSIDE
I CAN'T GIVE YOU 
I CAN'T GIVE YOU
I CAN'T GIVE YOU ANY FEELING

BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE
OSH SAYS: OOOH BOY
I CANNOT GIVE YOU FEELING
'CAUSE I DON'T HAVE

IF YOU DON'T HAVE
TRY TO GET SOME
