Berlin 1996 was a fantastic version. The bit at the start
'RVM,' Ed breaks into a brief, very fast-paced spoken word ditty (from 'Museum Song'):
"Quite a lotta Roman terra cotta Livin' lava from the flanks of Etna Statuary, Ride a dromedary See the temple tumble and the Red Sea part"
22 years . 22 years I had no clue what the hell Ed was saying and you finally figured it out. I don't know whether to be happy or cry. I honestly thought it was some sort of effect on his voice.
I could take the sun Pour a cup to share with everyone Need to feel some comfort in this world I won't take it all I won't say that nothings not my fault Can't feel the future in the wind
A truant finds home A wish to hold on to There's a trap door in the sun Immortality
I could paint the moon With a light reflected in my room All I need is a mirror for the glare I could paint the earth With the love I feel for you and her ????????????????????????? alter in the air?
A truant finds home A wish to hold on to There's a trap door in the sun Immortality
I cannot stop the thought Of running in the dark and Coming up at which way sign All good truants must decide
Oh stripped and sold mom, auctioned forearm Whiskers in the sink I will stay long Right on my lawn
I could take the sun Pour a cup to share with everyone Need to feel some comfort in this world I won't take it all I won't say that nothings not my fault Can't feel the future in the wind
A truant finds home A wish to hold on to There's a trap door in the sun Immortality
I could paint the moon With a light reflected in my room All I need is a mirror for the glare I could paint the earth With the love I feel for you and her ????????????????????????? alter in the air?
A truant finds home A wish to hold on to There's a trap door in the sun Immortality
I cannot stop the thought Of running in the dark and Coming up at which way sign All good truants must decide
Oh stripped and sold mom, auctioned forearm Whiskers in the sink I will stay long Right on my lawn
I won't die today I won't die today
Ed was paying homage to the first two times they played the song live on 4.11.94 and 4.12.94 in Boston. Blended lyrics from both performances with some of the final lyrics.

It would be pretty cool if they re-recorded it with some of these updated lyrics, as well as including that wonderful picking intro and not having a fade out ending.

I could take the sun
Pour a cup to share with everyone
Need to feel some comfort in this world
I won't take it all
I won't say that nothings not my fault
Can't feel the future in the wind
A truant finds home
A wish to hold on to
There's a trap door in the sun
Immortality
I could paint the moon
With a light reflected in my room
All I need is a mirror for the glare
I could paint the earth
With the love I feel for you and her
????????????????????????? alter in the air?
A truant finds home
A wish to hold on to
There's a trap door in the sun
Immortality
I cannot stop the thought
Of running in the dark and
Coming up at which way sign
All good truants must decide
Oh stripped and sold mom, auctioned forearm
Whiskers in the sink
I will stay long
Right on my lawn
I won't die today
I won't die today
