Vague Space Lyrics
Do you want to know where it stands right now?
Do you really care what, when, why, or how?
I came to crave your spastic touch
The honest way you move is too much
before we can change we could levitate
Erase mistakes of the forest greats
Fermented minds could make them shake
Permission granted for the wolverine stakes,
A Love to tear you off
The formless matters of the brain
Inequality of the drifting chain
A moment I could learn to love
The salutations to the levels above
We'll split the difference, call it quits
This is no new romantic blitz-krieg
Pull off the foil and watch it break
A whisper's crushing all the sympathy gates
A Love to tear you off
Do you really care what, when, why, or how?
I came to crave your spastic touch
The honest way you move is too much
before we can change we could levitate
Erase mistakes of the forest greats
Fermented minds could make them shake
Permission granted for the wolverine stakes,
Inequality of the drifting chain
A moment I could learn to love
The salutations to the levels above
We'll split the difference, call it quits
This is no new romantic blitz-krieg
Pull off the foil and watch it break
A whisper's crushing all the sympathy gates

So many people hate this song...it isn't his best, for certain, but it kind of grows on you IMO. I like it generally. I have no idea what in heck the lyrics mean, though. I think this song was released somewhere (maybe as a track to download online, I can't exactly recall) as "I love to turn you on"...how goofy (although of course that phrasing makes more sense than the refrain here...but then again, it's Stephen Malkmus and that's why we love him!).
