Goodnight!
The day is done
And death awaits
Rest your head
In wavy sun

Come, take my hand
And sing along
The key of blue
This endless song
His face worn through
But worn with pride
He saved us all
With his hot suicide

It was such a gift
We thank you
From the bottom of our hearts
Now we'll do our best
To play the parts

Eddie's filled with magic
Yet he is also judging too
And this, my friends, he knew
Fates left him with no lover
Still watching from eyes of others, ooh
It makes him feel like new
Oh what are we made of
And are we the forsaken few?
Just dust from the earth
And some heavenly puke as the glue
Now when's it through?

???
You tried to save the world?
Nothing is good or evil here.
We're all just ?? Heh-heh-heh
You know where you are?
What are we...?

What are we made from?
What are we?
What are we made from?
What are we?
What are we made from?
What are we?
What are we?

Eddie's filled with magic
Yet he's also tragic too
And this, my friends, he knew
Fate leaves him with no lover
Still watching from eyes above his ?
It makes him feel like new

Oh what are we made of
And are we the forsaken few?
Just dust from the earth
And some heavenly puke as the glue
Now when's it through?

Oh what are we made of
And are we the forsaken few?
Just dust from the earth
And some heavenly puke as the glue
Now when's it through?

Corrections welcome and needed!

Oh what are we made of

And some heavenly ?? as the glue

Oh what are we made of
And are we the FORSAKEN FEW

Yo SeaCap and StarsandSOULS; this is what my ears pickup. Changes in bold.

I almost think that "the key of blue" could be:
The key of boo

but that might be as crazy as "she's gone fishing" in Ages of Ruin.

Made the changes. Heavenly puke is right, it's in the words on the first page of the liner notes, though rearranged a little: "and some puke as the heavenly."

Hmm, also the liner notes say "Eddie's filled" so I'm gonna put that in the lyrics here.

I thought That heavenly puke was just silly but now I know my ears weren't playing tricks on me.

heavenly puke as the glue...who would've known?

You tried to save the world?
Nothing is good or evil here.
We're all just happy. Heh-heh-heh
You know where you are?
What are we...?

I had a pretty intense moment with this song, some weed, and a winamp visualization the other night. It was life altering.

if you think that maybe it's not Eddie's filled with magic, but 'and he's filled with magic'.. it kind of struck me that maybe this song is about jesus? anyone else get the vibe?
i dont know... i've always thought that about this song. maybe i'm completely wrong, but that's almost always the way i've interpreted it..

amen, i get that also

Yeah, I've always thought it was "and he's filled with magic." And I also think it's about Jesus. Especially this part:
His face worn through
But worn with pride
He saved us all
With his hot suicide

It was such a gift
We thank you
From the bottom of our hearts
Now we'll do our best
To play the parts

Jesus? Never heard of him.

I've thought about that Jesus thing with this song... makes sense.
These are some corrections I would make:
I hear "tragic" both times, not judging the first.
And also where it says, "Still watching through eyes of others" I'm pretty sure it says, "Still wandering through lives of others"
