I can see wind upon the rise
Here under glass I can see
Outside in formaldehyde
Waiting to set myself free

Up around the river bend I was separated from you
You became a citizen of a world held like a zoo
One step through the airlock
Where the chemicals can't get through
Up around the river bend I was separated from you

Like the ocean drips from the sky
I sit here just waiting to be
I can see specimens in the jars
Waiting to be

Up around the river bend the specialists changed you
You became a prisoner of a world kept like a zoo

Outside, real life- waiting for you and for me
Outside all our lives - awaiting the chance to be

Get away from me
Get away from me now - it’s all wrong
It’s too late for me - it’s too late for me now
It’s all gone - you have gone
Will you pray for me - will you pray for me now
All night long

Up around the river bend - up around the bend
Satan's Angels fly

Hey everybody don’t you know we can go outside
Yeah, we can party in the formaldehyde

H-C-H-O
