Subliminal lyrics

thermidorthelobster:
In the Scissor Sisters song Return to Oz, there's something which sounds strongly like a subliminal lyric about half way through, at the words "The wheelies are cutting pavement" at 2:21 on the CD version.

I've tried playing it at double speed (it sounds like slowed-down speech), also at half speed, and backwards, but can't make sense of it.  Nor can Google find it.  But it does sound very much like a subliminal lyric.  Any ideas?

Cheers Lee... that made me laugh :-)

Not subliminal... just some obscure references :


The wheelie's are cutting pavement
And the Skeksis at the rave meant to hide  (Reference to the “bird men” from the movie “The Dark Crystal”.)
Deep inside their sunken faces
And their wild rolling eyes
But their callous words reveal
That they can no longer feel
Love or sex appeal
The patchwork girl has come to cinch the deal  (Reference to the book “The Patchwork Girl of Oz”, by L. Frank Baum.)


"'Return To Oz' is a heartbreaking ballad that allegorises the crystal meth dependency that has ripped the heart out of New York's gay club scene. "The grass is dead, the gold is brown, what once was Emerald City's now a crystal town.""


Google is ace :-)

Reaper:
A good subliminal message is from the first few seconds of
Salt n Pepa's  Lets Talk About Sex. the first lyrics are "Spinderella, cut it up one time" if you play them backwards they say "Your the only one I'll ever need"
