Taste
[Ed. note: This version of the song was only played during the 1995 summer tour. In the fall, the music was put to new words and was entitled "The Fog that Surrounds". In Madison, WI, sometime in October of the 1995 Fall tour, the two songs were merged together into the form that was used up to the end of the year.] I'm up and I will take what you give And I'm here but I want you to live with me `Cause all I want is a taste for free I'm down and I will drag you along and around Until you burst into song and unwind And leave your new life behind for a while Cause I can't see through the light (2x) I'm down and I will drag you along and around Until you burst into song and unwind And leave your new life behind for a while I'm out and I will stay here alone and without Someone controlled by the phone and TV `Cause what it's doing to me is fine (chorus) I'm up and I will take what you give And I'm here but I want you to live with me `Cause all I want is a taste for free I'm out and I will stay here alone and without Someone controlled by the phone and TV `Cause what it's doing to me is fine (chorus 2x) Theme From the Bottom Original: J.R. Trimpe (trimpeja@acm.msu.edu) I feed from the bottom, you feed from the top I live upon morsels you happen to drop And coffee that somehow leaks out of your cup If nothing comes down then I'm forced to swim up. On the way upwards, the colours come back But all along the bottom is blue, grey, and black the darkness is cold and perception goes wrong And the night seems to go on incredibly long So I ask you why if I'm swimming by, Don't you see anything you'd like to try? Pantomime mixtures of heaven and earth Jumbled events that have less than no worth Time in the forest to dig under rocks Or sleep in the ocean afloat in a box. We'll sink just below all the churning and froth Or swim to the light source or fly like a moth So toss away stuff you don't need in the end But keep what's important and know who's your friend So I ask you why if I'm swimming by, Don't you see anything that you'd like to try?
