Cascade Waltz Lyrics

So a son sit down stop,
Kicked on a to the top,
Reached the sun, looked around,
Heartbeat was the only sound.
The line afloat with milk and honey,
Girls and cars and sex and money,
A spaceship flew across the sky,
Inside an astronaut softly cried.
Does anyone here really understand
What goes on in the heart of a man?
Does anyone here really understand
What goes on in the heart of a man?

Cover art for Cascade Waltz lyrics by Can

I'm not sure whether this is right, but I've been listening to this lovely quirky song by Can for many years and I always thought the first 5 lines were :

Saw a sign, said "Don't Stop" Kept on up, to the top Reached the summit, looked around Heartbeat was the only sound The land that flowed with milk and honey

All these years I found these words made better sense of the first part of the song.

Like I said I'm not sure what the original songwriter had in mind.

Lyric Correction

And oh yes, one more thing. Isn't it amazing that these guys were playing this very reggae sounding song long before reggae became popular in Europe ?
