Starting with an ABC
Wanting to drill fully
Editing skillfully
Arguing forcefully
1 2 Drill U
Any small thing that we find
Lengthened moment [in the sea?]
Driving me home
Any places far or near
It begins at one and is followed by two
An X marks the spot where I met U
1 2 Drill U
In the heart of the earth under the ground
In every city and every town
1 2 Drill U
If you're saved or if you're lost
If you are free, what is the cost?
1 2 Drill U
If you're scarred, if you're a fool
If you are hot, if you are cool
It's up to you, it's up to me
There's only one thing that it can be
One
What's Your Desire?
What's your gift?
What's your curse?
Is it fatal charm or worse?
What's your promise?
What's your pledge?
Do you dive in or cling to the edge?
What's your plan?
Do you watch your back?
Do you draw fire, retreat, or attack?
We're milling through the grinder
We're grinding through the mill
If this is not an exercise, could it be a...
Could it be a...
What's your step?
What's your desire?
[Are you out of the way in time?]
Are you safe?
Are you real?
Do you beg, connive, or steal?
Are you curved?
Are you straight?
Do you love, adore, or hate?
Arriving/Staying/Going?
Are you off? Are you on?
Arriving, staying, gone
Do you flow? What's your line?
Do you separate, mix, or combine?
What's your output? How's your growth?
Was your statement sworn under oath?
We're milling through the grinder, we're grinding through the mill
If this is not an exercise, could it be a...
Are you hollow? Do you ring?
Keep, save, sent, or pray?
What's your cost? Where will it end?
Do you parry, fate, or pretend?
Are you impressed? Are you in awe?
Is your goose cooked or raw?
Are you loyal? Are you proud?
Is your silence painful or loud?
Where's your grip? Do you slide?
Recover, charge, and hide
What's your quote? Do you vote?
Do you turn, or does your coat?
Are you spare? Have you a part?
Is there a finish, a middle, or start?
(A Berlin) Drill
Are you level? How's your trim?
Do you rotate, eddy, or spin?
Are you game? What's your trick?
Do you vibrate, bounce, or tick?
What's your cut? Are you correct?
Do you detour, bend, or stretch?
We're milling through the grinder, grinding through the mill
If this is not an exercise, could it be a drill?
How's it with you? What's your form?
Your outline, shape, or form
How's your price? What do you cost?
Your value, profit, or loss
How's your skull? Does it fit?
Is your mind free, empty, or split?
Drill drill drill
Dugga dugga dugga
Do You Drive? (Turn Your Coat)
Are you off? Are you on?
Arriving, staying, gone
Do you flow? What's your line?
Do you separate, mix, or combine?
What's your output? How's your growth?
Was your statement sworn under oath?
We're milling through the grinder, grinding through the mill
If this is not an exercise, could it be a...
Are you hollow? Do you ring?
Keep, save, sent, or pray?
What's your cost? Where will it end?
Do you parry, fate, or pretend?
Are you impressed? Are you in awe?
Is your goose cooked or raw?
Are you loyal? Are you proud?
Is your silence painful or loud?
Where's your grip? Do you slide?
Recover, charge, and hide
What's your quote? Do you vote?
Do you turn, or does your coat?
Are you spare? Have you a part?
Is there a finish, a middle, or start?
A middle, or start (to finish)?
Jumping Mint?
We're milling through the grinder, and we're grinding through the mill
If this is not an exercise, could it be a...
If this is not an exercise...
