25th Floor - Live - Patti Smith

We explore the men's room.

We don't give a shit.

Ladies' lost electricity;

take vows inside of it.

Desire to dance;

Too startled to try.

Wrap my legs 'round you,

to reform and transform waste.

the transformation of waste

the transformation of waste

the transformation of waste

is perhaps the oldest pre-occupation of man.

man being the chosen alloy,

he must be reconnected - via shit, at all cost.

inherent with(in) us is the dream of the task

of the alchemist to create from the clay of man.

and to re-create from excretion of man

pure and then soft and then solid gold.

all must not be art. some art we must disintegrate.

positive (anarchy must exist.)

(i feel it swirling around me

i feel it feeling no pain

i'm waiting above for you baby

i know that I'll see you up there
