Lyrics
Find another songVoices of unknown origin, appearing on radio frequencies
Were first noticed by Scandanavia by the military in the thirties
And were put down at the time to secret Nazi transmitters
But the voices spoke in unknown and mixed tongues
And after the war, no records of secret Nazi transmissions ever came to light
The voices didn't stop after the war
But their rapidity, and the-, their transient nature, precluded static
That is, until the tape recorder came into common usage in the fifties
A group of radio hams in Chicago studied the strange transmissions
Male and female voices, speaking in polyglot mode and lyrical tones
But it was not until 1959 that a Russian born, Swedish citizen
Radio and TV producer, and filmmaker, Friedrich Juergenson
Noticed intrusions on tape, and commenced his own systematic study
A disturbing fact soon emerged
The voices zeroed in onto the Swede, addressing him by name
Revealing a knowledge of his thoughts and actions
And claiming to be the voices of deceased friends and acquaintances
The news spread rapidly, and soon, experimenters and scientists, all over the world
Were attempting to duplicate Juergonson's work
The effect on parapsychologists was traumatic
Accustomed to investigating the blind forces of the poltergeist
And endless, and somewhat boring amount card and dice guessing experiments
They were confronted at once, with living voices, which answered back
Taken by surprise, the British parapsychologists
Without conducting experiments, rejected the objectivity of the voices
Explaining them as breakthroughs from taxis, police messages
Or simply mechanical noises from the tape recorder
But their European counterparts were more cautious
And possibly, with greater technical resources
They soon found out, that they were indeed confronted with voices of unknown origin on tape
Maybe I'm just feeling crushed
Maybe I'm just feeling crushed
Maybe I'm just feeling crushed
Maybe I'm just feeling crushed
Maybe I'm just feeling crushed
Maybe I'm just feeling crushed
(Maybe I'm just feeling crushed)
Maybe I'm just feeling crushed
(Maybe I'm just feeling crushed)
Maybe I'm just feeling crushed
(Maybe I'm just feeling crushed)
