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
A 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
