Song lyrics

Send "Street Spirit (Fade Out)" ringtones to your cell

Rows of houses all bearing down on me
I can feel their blue hands touching me 
All these things into position 
All these things we'll one day swallow whole 
And fade out again and fade out 

This machine will not communicate 
These thoughts and the strain I am under
Be a world child, form a circle
Before we all go under 
And fade out again and fade out again

Cracked eggs, dead birds 
Scream as they fight for life
I can feel death, can see it's beady eyes 
All these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole 
And fade out again and fade out again

Immerse your soul in love
Immerse your soul in love.

11,302 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal yay, this song is amazing. I love, love, love it soooo much, it's great!!! I am so bad with words, but really, if I could, I'd sit all night talking about how beautiful this song it. Thom's voice sounds so great in this one, and he sings with so much emotion (he always does). The lyrics are great as well, and I like that guitar in it... I dunno, it makes the song even better...

89 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal World would be a less hopeful and beautiful place without this song. Radiohead is one of few lucky bands with unlimited potentials, a band without any limits and they`ll keep on soaring. Isn`t this great?

154 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal i read somewhere that thom yorke claims this song wrote itself and that theres nothing in it that is upbeat, he described it as a lightless tunnel and that he has to detatch himself emotionally from the song when he sings it because its such an emotional song and he would break down on stage if he didnt. of course thom yorke wrote it, but everyone knows how philisophical he is. but i spoze only he would konw the depth and meaning of this song... we can appreciate it for its striking lyrics and flawless vocals but i wont think of it the same ever since thom yorke said somewhere that playing this song to a cheering crowd is like watching your pet dog blissfully wagging its tail, totally oblivious to the fact that its going to be put down... this is one deep, dark song peoples. dont underestimate it...

13 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal lamp_shade_303- I must agree with this... Just listening to this song makes me wanna cry... At 20 years old I can break down listening to a song... The lyrics aren't straight forward and you just really have to hear Thom in order to understand what is going on... As for the music video... Words can not describe...
