I can feel the Earth begin to move
I hear my needle hit the groove
And spiral through another day
I hear my song begin to say
Kiss me where the sun don't shine
The past was yours but the future's mine
You're all out of time

I don't feel too steady on my feet
I feel hollow, I feel weak
Passion fruit and holy bread
Fill my guts and ease my head
Through the early morning sun
I can see her, here she comes
She bangs the drums

Have you seen her? Have you heard?
The way she plays, there are no words
To describe the way I feel
How could it ever come to pass?
She'll be the first, she'll be the last
To describe the way I feel
The way I feel

Have you seen her? Have you heard?
The way she plays, there are no words
To describe the way I feel
How could it ever come to pass?
She'll be the first, she'll be the last
To describe the way I feel
The way I feel

Have you seen her? Have you heard?
The way she plays, there are no words
To describe the way I feel
How could it ever come to pass?
She'll be the first, she'll be the last
To describe the way I feel
The way I feel

    Okay, so I feel like I'm going to get in trouble for being too out there about this song, especially one which seems to have fairly straightforward lyrics but...

    I think the lyrics of this song seems to have a ton of innuendo...they seem simply to be an analogy between playing a song and being madly in love but when he talks about his 'needle hitting the grove' I think not just about the needle of a record player but also making a girl cry out while making love...especially since they're kissing where the sun don't shine...

    And why do you suppose he's unsteady on his feet? Why does he feel hollow and weak? Is he just dizzy from his heart going in circles or is he trying to get it up before she comes...yeah comes...? : \

    I don't know...the song is straightforward in any case, it's obviously about a guy who's absolutely crazy for someone but I think the drums that she's banging aren't all just instruments...
