[Lyric] The Spirit - Live (Peter Hammill)

[Instrumental Intro]

[Spoken Intro]
[?]

[Instrumental]
[Guitar Solo 1]

[Verse 1]
Such distance to the tips of the fingers
The ganglion loom jerks inside;
The body gets steadily stranger

[Refrain 1]
But the spirit survives

[Guitar Solo 2]

[Verse 2]
That sharp halogen flash jars the eyeball
The limbs pump in overdrive;
The body gets steadily weaker
[Refrain 1]
But the spirit survives

[Verse 3]
Yes, and the ash-mark stands out on the forehead
As the vacuum sneaks up on the eyes;
Oh, the body becomes a constant traitor

[Refrain 1]
But the spirit survives

[Guitar Solo 3]

[Verse 4]
And thеy call that living a normal life
But normality's not standardised
The body gеts ever more root-bound

[Refrain 2]
But the spirit survives
Oh, the body gets steadily stranger
But the spirits survives

[Outro]
Yes, the spirit survives
