The ceiling is moving
Moving in time
Like a conveyor belt
Above my eyes
When under ether
The mind comes alive
But conscious of nothing
But the will to survive
I lay on the bed
Waist down undressed
Look up at the ceiling
Feeling happiness
Human kindness
The woman beside me
Is holding my hand
I point at the ceiling
She smiles so kind
Something's inside me
Unborn and unblessed
Disappears in the ether
This world to the next
Disappears in the ether
One world to the next
Human kindness
Moving in time
Like a conveyor belt
Above my eyes
When under ether
The mind comes alive
But conscious of nothing
But the will to survive
I lay on the bed
Waist down undressed
Look up at the ceiling
Feeling happiness
Human kindness
The woman beside me
Is holding my hand
I point at the ceiling
She smiles so kind
Something's inside me
Unborn and unblessed
Disappears in the ether
This world to the next
Disappears in the ether
One world to the next
Human kindness

The "ether" being referred to in this song is not the anesthetic, but rather the fabric of the universe, where the baby is returning to. C'mon, this is clearly about an abortion -- "waist down undressed", and with a woman beside her holding her hand? One of PJ's easier to interpret songs, but still amazing...
PJ said that it's not about abortion...<br /> but for me personally, it still can be about it, no mather what she said.
@schnitzi I get so much more miscarriage than abortion (same surgery, but after the fetus is dead)
