Hum – The Scientists Lyrics 15 years ago
this is what i hear in the fourth stanza:

"docile living lusters forming pools beneath her feet
invertebrates that only she can see
and i say 'what on earth are all these engines for?'
she says 'exactly, we're not gonna wait around here anymore.'"

"she" turns his question into a pun with her answer. it makes sense to me considering the next line:

"systems back down slow watch the dust cloud rescind."

like a space shuttle's engines & the settling debris in the lauch zone? maybe i'm wrong.
