"Dexter's Chalk" is a song by the electronic music duo Underworld and Ø [Phase]. The lyrics of the song are repetitive and don't seem to convey a specific story or meaning. They consist of phrases such as "A ring, a pinky, a ring, a bell," and "If you break the bargain then you go to Hell." These phrases are repeated throughout the song, creating a rhythmic and hypnotic effect. The song also includes the lines "Atishoo, Atishoo, We all fall down," which is a reference to the nursery rhyme "Ring a Ring o' Roses." This adds to the repetitive and cyclical nature of the song. The lyrics also touch on the theme of communication or lack thereof. The lines "The man says nothing, stares into the distance, the dog does all the talking" suggest a disconnect between individuals and their ability or willingness to communicate. Overall, "Dexter's Chalk" seems to be more focused on creating a mood or atmosphere rather than telling a specific story or conveying a clear message. The repetitive lyrics and hypnotic electronic sounds contribute to the song's immersive and trance-like experience.
