I've been waiting for a guide to come and take me by the hand
  Could these sensations make me feel the pleasures of a normal man?
  New sensations barely interest me for another day
  I've got the spirit, lose the feeling, take the shock away
  
  It's getting faster, moving faster now, it's getting out of hand
  On the tenth floor, down the back stairs, it's a no man's land
  Lights are flashing, cars are crashing, getting frequent now
  I've got the spirit, lose the feeling, let it out somehow
  
  What means to you, what means to me, and we will meet again
  I'm watching you, I'm watching her - I take no pity from your friends
  Who is right, who can tell, and who gives a damn right now?
  Until the spirit, new sensation takes hold - then you know --
  I've got the spirit, but lose the feeling, feeling, feeling --
