[Verse 1]
Today is the last day that I'm using words
They've gone out, lost their meaning
Don't function anymore
[Refrain]
Let's
Let's
Let's get unconscious, honey
Let's get unconscious, honey
[Verse 1]
Today is the last day that I'm using words
They've gone out, lost their meaning
Don't function anymore
[Chorus]
Traveling
Leaving logic and reason
Traveling
To the arms of unconsciousness
Traveling
Leaving logic and reason
Traveling
To the arms of unconsciousness
[Refrain]
Let's get unconscious, honey
Let's get unconscious
Let's get unconscious, honey
Let's get unconscious
[Verse 2]
Words are useless, especially sentences
They don't stand for anything
How could they explain how I feel?
[Chorus]
Traveling
I'm traveling
Traveling
Leaving logic and reason
Traveling
I'm gonna relax
Traveling
In the arms of unconsciousness
[Refrain]
Let's get unconscious, honey
Let's get unconscious
Let's get unconscious, honey
Let's get unconscious
[Bridge]
And inside we're all still wet
Longing and yearning
How can I explain how I feel?
[Refrain]
Let's get unconscious, honey
Let's get unconscious
Let's get unconscious, honey
Let's get unconscious
[Chorus]
Traveling, traveling
Traveling, traveling
Traveling, traveling
In the arms of unconsciousness
[Outro]
And all that you've ever learned
Try to forget
I'll never explain again

When asked about what did she think about what Madonna did to the song she wrote, Björk answered:
I don’t know, I sort of did it as a favour to [the producer] Nellee Hooper who is a friend of mine and I think she at first wanted us to write for her together as a team and I just didn’t think that wa...
