    on the high rise estate 
    what's at the back of your mind? 
    on a three-day debate 
    on the high rise estate 
    what's at the back of your mind? 
    two icy-cold hands conducting the way 
    it's the eskimo blood in my veins 
    amid the concrete and clay 
    and general decay 
    nature must still find a way 
    so ignore all the codes of the day 
    let your juvenile impulses sway 
    this way and that way and 
    this way and that way 
    god, how sex implores you
