We're getting nowhere 
Where did we go? 
Shifting so slowly 
Facing the top 
Creeping and diving 
The palm of my hand 
Where we'll soon discover 
soft place to lie 

She waits on the bow 
Waves break from the south 
There's no way to tell her now 
She waits but we're getting nowhere 

Transistor won't you take my signal 
Stand in line beside and hold the wire 
Transistor let the new world hit you 
Help me reach the stars between your eyes 
Transistor 

We're shaking the apple 
Tasting the ice 
Feelings arise and 
Feeling surprise 
I see a curtain 
Beginning to fall 
What's good for the captain 
Is good for us all
