D-7
Wipers, The · Is This Real?
Straight as an arrow
Defect, defect
Not straight, not so straight
Reject, reject
Twards anti-social
Dull dull, so dull
Standing on the stairs
Cold cold morning
Ghostly image of fear
May day may day
Gonna leave this region
They'll take me with them
Dimension 7 Past astro borders
Zeno lies waiting
Past gascous remains
Intrigue such intrigue
Gonna leave this region
There taking me with them
Defect, defect
Not straight, not so straight
Reject, reject
Twards anti-social
Dull dull, so dull
Standing on the stairs
Cold cold morning
Ghostly image of fear
May day may day
Gonna leave this region
They'll take me with them
Dimension 7 Past astro borders
Zeno lies waiting
Past gascous remains
Intrigue such intrigue
Gonna leave this region
There taking me with them
