   Evidently, they decided against that option.   
      
   The lyric, as I remember it (I'm sure someone's reply that I haven't read,   
   yet, has it exactly, after 11 years!) is:   
      
        "Fern... fern in die Ferngeness (?)   
         Man hört, man hört die Musik..."   
      
   ["Far, far in the distance, one hears, one hears the/some music", or loosely,   
   "music is heard"]   
      
   ... echoing Jeff's semi-sung, semi-shouted line,   
      
        "Ah, far, far away   
         the music   
         is playing..."
