[rev. Aug. 23, 2013]

[Spoken] Ok, stop it, stop...

How long?
Long enough to know I don't know any more
How deep?
Deep inside a surging red rider
How far?
Far enough to see your shadow
How soon?
Soon this will all be gone, all be gone

And why can't you stop it?
Now why can't you just stop?

How near?
Nearly midnight in 1999's last party
How strange?
Stranger than fiction to the ear
How much?
Much more than I had ever hoped
How close?
Close enough to know that we were gone, we were gone

And why can't you stop it?
And why can't you just stop?

How... [Laughter]
[Spoken] Fine, stop, stop...

How long?
How deep?
How far?
How soon?

Wake up slowly
I've been sleeping four hundred years
All my memories
All my feelings
All disappeared

Lead me gently
Hear me faintly
Then discard
Then discard
Discard
