Citizen Fish - Give Me Beethoven... lyrics

Give me Beethoven or give me d**h! Give me Beethoven or give me d**h! Give me Beethoven, give me some air... Give me Beethoven... Give me Beethoven or give me d**h! Fasten your seatbelts hold your breath I don't wanna think about watery graves Blow me away on the turbulent waves Earphone chatline to the creator Keep this plane up a few hours later The C-60 cycles the number five Across the air as we wave goodbye Give me Beethoven or give me d**h! To having any destiny control A new sense of fear with a love of the old Being able to gain from a shaking plane A proximity to d**h and maybe living again In musical form! Unconsidered before! Well that's quite a lofty ambition kid To be shaking up the aerospine like Ludwig did! Shaking up the aerospine like Ludwig did! Shaking up the aerospine But while the neighbours, unattached To Ludwig Van, were unrelaxed By thoughts of turbulence making cracks In their temporary home - temporary home Me! I was gone... despatched - despatched Give me Beethoven or give me d**h! To the flights of fancy nightmare edged That grasping strings, leap from the ledge And punctuating air with fists Like orchestrated masochists Cry "Freedom from all rational fear!" And hit the waves prepared to dive For what goes reaching down as deep As that which takes us all so high? So high - so high - high Give me Beethoven or give me d**h!
