Lyrics

Drill (John Peel Session)

Are you level? How's your trim?

Do you rotate, eddy, or spin?

Are you cut? Are you correct?

Do you detour, bend, or stretch?

Are you priced? What do you cost?

Your value, profit, or loss

We're milling through the grinder, grinding through the mill

If this is not an exercise, could it be a...

Could it be a...

Could it be a...

Could it be a...

How's it with you? What's your form?

Your outline, shape, contort?

What's your game?  Do you play?

Do you meditate or pray?

How's your skull? Does it fit?

Is your mind free, empty, or split?

We're milling through the grinder, grinding through the mill

If this is not an exercise, could it be a...

Could it be a...

Could it be a...

Could it be a...

Could it be a...

Could it be a...

Could it be a...

Could it be a...

Could it be a...

Could it be a...

Could it be a...
