Postures (Leave Your Body Behind) Songtext
von 13th Floor Elevators

You′re wondering
If on your mind
It's the one keystone people keep trying to find
The state of mind that put you there
And evolutions everywhere
Is creeping back from the affair so leave

Leave, leave, leave your body behind
Leave, leave, leave, leave your body behind
Yes, yes, yes

You can always come back
To live the desire you want on your track
Live the love, it gives its return
The higher you live it now, the purer it burns


So keep climbing
Move your energies higher
Keep on climbing
Your sun catches on fire
Keep climbing
And bathe in the sun that dawns in the darkness
Once the journey′s begun

Remember, remember
Why can't you remember?
Remember that we're falling

In difference from the love
It′s only habit, circumstance
That fits you like a glove
Remember that we′re calling
In every cast of word
Is spoken in the voices
Of the holy sound you heard
Got to remember, remember

Your form can move
Your shape is composed of edges
Your form you can move
The edges and ridges of your own energy
Your own energy, your own energy
Just the motion you feel


Keep climbing
In your wandering
Keep climbing
In search for this
Keep climbing
Only higher existence
Consciousness and bliss
By feeling more love for the sense world you're seeing
You raise your sense income and your level of being
By finer and finer and finer a greeting you leave

Leave, leave, leave your body behind
Leave, leave, leave, leave your body behind
Yes, yes, yes

Attention comes back
You focus on anchors and have what you lack
Live the love, each thought form returns
Raised in the judgement of the ether that burns

So keep climbing
Move your energies higher
Keep on climbing
Your sun catches on fire
Keep climbing
The sun fills so soon
And gathers the clouds into a heavenly moon

Remember, remember
Why can′t you remember?

Remember we're bombarded
The downpour of the word
The outside meanings lock us in
So all else seems absurd
Remember things regarded
Are terminals like you
False terminals discharge against each other
And balance siphoning through
Got to remember, remember

Your form can move
Your shape is composed of edges
Your form you can move
The edges and ridges of your own energy
Your own energy, your own energy
Just the motion you feel

Keep climbing
Make your body like dry wood
Keep climbing
Your heart like cool ashes
Keep climbing
The light strains through your near-closed eyes
Like ribbons through your lashes
It ripples down with your heart′s clear
To mix into the void that's here
The love you feel is love you hear

You leave, leave, leave, leave your body behind
Leave, leave, leave, leave your body behind

Remember, remember
Remember, remember
