The Ornament Lyrics
I've been aching for someone I've barely met
Well I've been begging for something I'll never get
Well I've been tracing the footsteps of fallen men
Hoping to fill this void within
But I'm here all alone again
Here all alone again
Here all alone again
Hoping to fill this void within, within, within
Well I've been chasing the impossible
And I've been floating around this world
Wondering why I'm still in orbit; choking on the fumes up here
I'm choking on the fumes again
But I'm here all alone again
Here all alone again
Here all alone again
Hoping to fill this void within, within, within
Well I’ve aching for someone I barely met
And I’ve been begging for something I’ll never get
Well I've been begging for something I'll never get
Well I've been tracing the footsteps of fallen men
Hoping to fill this void within
Here all alone again
Here all alone again
Hoping to fill this void within, within, within
And I've been floating around this world
Wondering why I'm still in orbit; choking on the fumes up here
I'm choking on the fumes again
Here all alone again
Here all alone again
Hoping to fill this void within, within, within
And I’ve been begging for something I’ll never get

Nice BS submission... Should be:
Well I’ve aching for someone I barely met And I’ve been begging for something I’ll never get And I’ve been tracing the footsteps of fallen men Hoping to fill this void with them
But I’m near all along again Here all along again Here all along again Hoping to fill this void with them…with them…with them
Well I’ve been chasing the impossible And I’ve been floating around this world Wondering while I’m still in orbit Choking on the fumes up here Choking on the fumes again
But I’m near all along again Here all along again Here all along again Hoping to fill this void with them…with them…with them
Well I’ve aching for someone I barely met And I’ve been begging for something I’ll never get
For the record, it wasn't a BS submission. That is all the song used to be and how it is presented on Live at the Fillmore. It kept building over time... which is kind of ironic if you consider that it first appears with "Matroshka" on Catch Without Arms. It is like putting the doll, an ornament, back together. The instrumental led to the stripped down, atmospheric version which gave way to the fleshed-out, "full" version.
