[INTRO — almost inaudible] under under under the sound something turning without moving something opening without a door [long instrumental ascent] [VOICE — close, dry] I heard it before I heard it I knew it before I knew not a message not a messenger only the pressure passing through [DROP] through me through me through me through me [INSTRUMENTAL — repetition builds] [SECOND VOICE] No center. No edge. No hand on the wheel. No center. No edge. Still— **everything turns.** [voices begin overlapping] everything turns everything turns everything turns everything turns [BREAKDOWN — enormous empty space] If I follow the pulse does the pulse follow me? If I enter the pattern where does the pattern begin? [whispered responses] nowhere nowhere nowhere everywhere [BEAT RETURNS] I AM NOT CARRYING THE SIGNAL **THE SIGNAL IS CARRYING ME** I AM NOT CARRYING THE SIGNAL **THE SIGNAL IS CARRYING ME** [choir enters] carrying me carrying me carrying me carrying me [acid sequence opens] No sender. No receiver. No beginning. No believer. No sender. No receiver. Only— **AGAIN** **AGAIN** **AGAIN** **AGAIN** [FINAL ASCENT — all voices] THE SIGNAL HAS NO CENTER THE SIGNAL HAS NO CENTER THE SIGNAL HAS NO CENTER THE SIGNAL HAS NO CENTER AND STILL I HEAR IT THE SIGNAL HAS NO CENTER THE SIGNAL HAS NO CENTER AND STILL I HEAR IT AND STILL I HEAR IT AND STILL I— [everything cuts] hear it [one pulse] [choir returns impossibly huge] **AGAIN** AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN [voices lose intelligibility, becoming rhythm] a-gain a-gain a-gain a-gain [maximum climax] **THE SIGNAL HAS NO CENTER** **THE SIGNAL HAS NO CENTER** **THE SIGNAL HAS NO CENTER** [hard cut to silence]
