Lyric:
INTELLECTUAL SPARRING Nov. 7/85 Karl Rigelhof

Can you translate this dissertation
Can you relate it (to me) verbatim
Can/do/did you anticipate any/this indiscretion
(When) did/will you initiate the/this/an ultimatum

Always asking questions
Never/not get(ting) ((a)ny) response(s)
Always masking (your) obsession(s)/intention(s)
Never/not know(ing) what you want

It goes in one end and out the other
It comes from your hand (and) into another(s)
It goes in one ear and out the other
It comes from your heart (and) into a/your lover(s)

Can you debate without opinionation(s)
Can you create the truth from insinuation(s)
Did you mistake my words for/as allegations
It\'s much too late to correct the situation

Intellectual sparring (of the spirit)
Ineffectual scarring (of the heart)
Misconceptual marring (of the mind)
(With) eventual(ly) starring ((of) the body)
Uneventful ch/barring (of the soul)
Unconventional/contraceptual jarring (of the psyche)
