    "Dance Of The Clairvoyants"

    Confusion is to commotion

    What love is to our devotion

    Imperceptibly big

    Big as the ocean

    And equally hard to control

     

    So save your predictions

    And burn your assumptions

    Love is friction

    Ripe for comfort

    Endless equations

    And tugging persuasions

    Doors open up to interpretation

     

    Expecting perfection

    Leaves a lot to ignore

    When the past is the present

    And the future’s no more

    When every tomorrow is the same as before

     

    The looser things get, the tighter you become

    The looser things get, the tighter…

    Not one man could be greater than the sum

    It’s not a negative thought

    I’m positive

    Positive, positive

     

    Falling down, not staying down

    Could’ve held me up, brother, tear me down

    Drown in the river

     

    Expecting perfection

    Leaves a lot to ignore (endure)

    When the past is the present

    And the future’s no more

    When every tomorrow is the same as before

     

    Numbers keep falling off

    The calendar’s floor

    We’re stuck in our boxes

    Window’s open no more

    Collecting up the forget-me-nots

    Not recalling what they’re for

    I’m in love with clairvoyants

    ‘Cause they’re out of this world

     

    I know the girls want to dance

    Away their circumstance

    I know the boys want to grow

    Their dicks and fix and file things

     

    I know the girls want to dance

    Clairvoyants in a trance

    I know the boys want to grow

    Their dicks and fix and file things

     

    Stand back when the spirit comes

    Stand back when the spirit comes

    Stand back when the spirit comes

    Stand back

     

    Stand back when the spirit comes

    Stand back when the spirit comes

    Stand back when the spirit comes

    Stand back

     

    Stand back when the spirit comes

    Stand back when the spirit comes

    Stand back when the spirit comes

    Stand back

     

    I know the girls want to dance

    Away their circumstance

    I know the boys want to grow

    Their dicks and fix and file things

     

    I know the girls want to dance

    Clairvoyants in a trance

    I know the boys want to grow

    Their dicks and fix and file things

     

    Stand back when the spirit comes

    Stand back when the spirit comes

    Stand back when the spirit comes

    Stand back

    Stand back when the spirit comes

    Stand back when the spirit comes

    Stand back when the spirit comes

    Sounds like “boys want to grow their dicks and picks and violins.” Obviously not it, but that’s what it sounds like.

    It's an "f" sound, like "flicks."  Can't make out that line with any degree of certainty.  Maybe violence instead of violins?  (Where have we seen that before? ;) )

    What are flicks? Can’t really find a translation 
    doesn‘t sound like violins. Could be grow their dicks and fix... and file things? 
    Oh whatever. 😄

    I think I did all right with this.  Hardly perfect, but not too shabby given Eddie's famous lack of enunciation!

     Fucking A - the melody lines in this song just takes me to another place. I'm feeling this song big time. "Stand back when the spirit comes"

    thanks for the transcription. I'm hearing:
    "Not one man could be greater than the sum" - commentary on all needing to work together
    definitely "their dicks and fix and fire things" - masculine stereotypes
    love the track!
