1000 Ft. Hands
Wayne's Notes from the album:
"One of our strangest and most sublime recordings... initially used for one of the parking lot experiments and then tried (without success) to fit it on Zaireeka. The lyric in the middle section "see I thought I wasn't mad... but I lost what I had... realizing the speed of life as it passed" really does express my psychic crisis at that time."
The origin of this Soft Bulletin outtake was the Parking Lot Experiment piece, "Realizing The Speed Of Life."

How was it designed
Hands a thousand feet up
How could it survive
Seems it'd be all beat up
Hear it loud
Love and light combine
It's like a shiny sound
Loves to love, it shines
(Hahaha
Hahaha
Hahaha
Hahaha
Hahaha
Hahaha
Hahaha
Hahaha)
See, I thought I wasn't mad
See, I thought I wasn't mad
But I lost what I had
But I lost what I had
Realizing the speed of life
As it passed
Oh
As it passed
Oh
As it passed
Oh
As it passed
Oh
As it goes
Oh
As it goes
Oh
As it goes
Oh
As it goes
(Hahaha
Hahaha)
Facing the divide
Which way will it lead us
Killing off the guide
Using thoughts as beacons
Hear it loud
Love and light combine
It's like a shiny sound
Loves to love, it shines
