15 : 4/25/98 : Manual Transmission

Illuminated manuscripts
Abandoned flames and favorite ships
cashing bogus checks and scripts
For manual transmission

Broken watchsprings tarnished coins
cracked gaskets rings and dirty points
So roll the universal joints
For manual transmission

We just cannot let this thing
go on running itself this way
We've got to switch our play
To manual transmission
of the message, mission, vision

Chop it through two three four five
Master the dance and teach the hive
Dead or dying still alive
For manual transmission

The answer could be on the shelves
Those books aren't gonna read themselves
what fever raised desire quells
For manual transmission
