Up on the toe
There is a view
Up on the toe
And the spine
Straight and erect
Hungry and curious
Up on the toe
Looking forward to
The air is thinner here
She came here
To lose face
Got down on her knees
The beast is back
On four legs
Set her clock to the moon
Raises her spine
Vertebrae by vertebrae
Up on the toe
Looking
I have been filled with steam for months, for years
Same old cloud, claustrophobic me
Let it burst like old train sounds
Make them leave me nature
Vertebrae by vertebrae by vertebrae
My arms ooze out of my shoulders
And the arms ooze out of my shoulders
I curl my tail inwards, inwards
I set my clock on the moon
Vertebrae by vertebrae
Please release this pressure of me
Please release this pressure of me
Please release this pressure of me
Please
Let off some steam
There is a view
Up on the toe
And the spine
Straight and erect
Hungry and curious
Up on the toe
Looking forward to
The air is thinner here
She came here
To lose face
Got down on her knees
The beast is back
On four legs
Set her clock to the moon
Raises her spine
Vertebrae by vertebrae
Up on the toe
Looking
I have been filled with steam for months, for years
Same old cloud, claustrophobic me
Let it burst like old train sounds
Make them leave me nature
Vertebrae by vertebrae by vertebrae
My arms ooze out of my shoulders
And the arms ooze out of my shoulders
I curl my tail inwards, inwards
I set my clock on the moon
Vertebrae by vertebrae
Please release this pressure of me
Please release this pressure of me
Please release this pressure of me
Please
Let off some steam

...some sort of transformation. Took a bit for this music to grow on me. It...is...awesome... I think at the beginning its describing her form as human. We're all up-on-the-toe, head-wise. And looking forward too. She's angry (I think) in this song and has been building up steam for a long time and is wanting sooo badly to release it. This song needs more comments, I swear...
