 follows the verse riff.

  Poetry reading:
 my hand went blind, clairvoyant, pure in the veins
 i make love to my trance sister went on
 and my trance parents see from the balcony
 i looked out on the big field
 it opens like the cover of an old bible
 (play prechorus riff)
 and out come the wolves! out come the wolves
 their paws trampling in the snow the alphabet
 i stand on my head and watch it all go away
  Verse3:		bootin up shootin up and bring on the brightness
 see the sun of god is comin up and there is a likeness
 internalize the lunacy the misery is showin
 when you're brought up you're caught up in a system that is goin
