tormentors climbed into my room
G
i crawled under my bed, covered my head
G
but they're flushin' me out with a broom
G
the leader, she's small, pinned my ass to the wall
G
for my seeds or she'd be losin' her past
A
time after time, she'd be readin' my mind
A
but she never got the feelin' to last
G
celebrate, celebrate, celebraid it
G
this is the critical mass
so far so good, I heard the other say
so good so far, they're takin' me away
I drink to you, your mind, her ass
we'll take a drink and break the glass
celebrate, celebrate, celebreak it
this is the critical mass
The first interlude and the second interlude are very similar guitar-wise.

so I tell her for fun, that it's really well done
but she just ain't listenin' at all
she points to my heart, tellin' me if I'm smart
I'll practice and phase
out and admit, when the shoe doesn't fit
and I went screaming out down the hall
need it
need your love
just then I heard a poundin' on the door
we're all here, sang the voice of twenty more
I drink to you alas, we'll take a drink and break the glass
celebrate, celebrate, celebreak it
we are the critical mass(interlude w/harmonica)
time and space, is takin' me away
time erase, don't know the time of day

fade out with backwards guitar and sound effects
Arriving in boats, black hooded coats
Tormentors climbed into my room
I crawled under my bed, covered my head
But they're flushin' me out with a broom
The leader, she's small, pinned my ass to the wall
For my seeds or she'd be losin' her past
Time after time, she'd be readin' my mind
But she never got the feelin' to last
Celebrate, celebrate, celebraid it
This is the critical mass
So far so good, I heard the other say
So good so far, they're takin' me away
I drink to you, your mind, her ass
We'll take a drink and break the glass
Celebrate, celebrate, celebreak it
This is the critical mass
Now the tallest of two, with a brush full of blue
Paints surrealist scenes on the wall
So I tell her for fun, that it's really well done
But she just ain't listenin' at all
She points to my heart, tellin' me if I'm smart
I'll practice and phase
Out and admit, when the shoe doesn't fit
And I went screaming out down the hall
Really need it
Really need your love
Really need your love
Need your love need your love love love love love love love love love love
Just then I heard a poundin' on the door
We're all here, sang the voice of twenty more
I drink to you alas
We'll take a drink and break the glass
Celebrate, celebrate, celebreak it
We are the critical mass
Time in space, is takin' me away
Time erase, don't know the time of day
Time in space, is takin' me away
Time erase, don't know the time of day
Time in space, is takin' me away
Time erase, don't know the time of day
