Lyrics
<FONT SIZE=+1 COLOR=800000><B>The Sense Of Smell</B></FONT><P>

I was at the sink<BR>
I was makin steam<BR>
when I breathed it in I thought about this life<BR>
hand in hot water<BR>
I thought about my bones<BR>
when I'm a ghost I can no longer do these things<P>

chorus:<BR>
the sense of smell<BR>
is our only natural sense<BR>
that regenerates when it is damaged<BR>
the sense of life<BR>
is one that we make up<BR>
as we walk this earth and notice things<P>

I smelled a pot<BR>
that had been in the sink<BR>
for a long long time<BR>
it smelled funny<BR>
I smelled a spoon<BR>
that I took out of the water<BR>
I don't know what food had touched it<BR>
it smelled like life <P>

chorus<P>

I've been doing dishes for five thousand years or so<BR>
in a past life I must have been a rag<BR>
rags get really pungent - take a whiff of one<BR>
then picture your grandma's attic and it's musty scent<P>

sight and sound<BR>
smell touch and taste<BR>
are things we have to enjoy the life process<BR>
and when we die<BR>
we'll no longer have skin<BR>
or bones to break<BR>
and it will be much better<P>
chorus<P>
smell smell smell smell <P>
