A Is to B as B Is to C Lyrics

Forwards:
"One two three four five, six seven eight nine ten - now in Spanish, then in French, we'll say that twice again."

Backwards:
"We love you all!" (also forwards)
"[Jangly electronic noises] I'll be gone about a week. Oh, by the way, I brought ... [brought her pillow] [BARK BARK]" ["season of the witch"]
(Extract from "Teddy Bears' Picnic" song): "If you go down to the woods today, you'd better not go alone!"
"I don't know, it makes it ???. I still got 'em, I still dream about him. I don't know, I just wish it had never happened." "??? the whole thing?" "The whole ... the whole thing goes over and over."
"so, those prophecies you've been describing" ... "and now to business [matters?]..."

But right before they start playing the voices backwards does nobody else here "it MUST be a... ?" I don't know what it must be, but I keep hearing "it MUST be a... ?" over and over.

I've been posting too much but k. anyone know where they got the "I don't know, it makes it me nervous. I ? ?, I still dream about it. I don't know, I just wish it had never happened. The whole thing... the whole ... the whole thing goes over and over." from? can't find any links that aren't BOC related

I always felt this song was about the chaos of reincarnation. And in the chaos, the realization that this has happened many time before. Funny enough, I didn't know the true lyrics when I had this thought, and yet the lyrics listed here seem to strengthen my guess.

BTW, I always thought the breathy over-voice at the end was saying "Now we are free!" Obviously wrong, but one can never truly tell in a BoC song.

Maybe the "we love you all" is a loving subliminal message from boc to their fans? or not..
