I have not bought the album yet but while listening to one of the local
radio stations ('Z-100' Z Morning Zoo for those of you in the NJ/NY
area) I heard them discussing this ending to side 1.  They had it taped
and when played backward the words were something to the effect of:

       "I know some day soon my God is coming for me..."

(the quote here is not exact, but I don't remember the wording).
