Note: some sounds are heard in both channels, but are easier to hear/parse in one channel or the other. I copied each stereo channel to its own stereo .WAV to make it easier to parse (mono .WAVs don't have enough depth). In other words, each audio file is in stereo, but it was created from only one original stereo channel (either the right or the left).
RIGHT CHANNEL
Very beginning: crowd cheering noise
*Right after "...eternity": high pitched, skewed-up voice saying "Why is it so loud? O my!"
*Same voice, just before bass entry: "I'm ready!"
- At same time, laughter in background
*At end, whispered: "He will save your soul." (possibly Bono)
*Right after above whisper, left-channel voice says "Fuck" (slightly speeded up)
*End, right after music cut out, slightly speeded up: "He's the/a bad brother" (reversed)
*Very last: "Our scientific program today is a real (eye-opener(?)). This year, one of our programs was to examine how Jesus lived." (pitch lowered at very end) (sounds like a British announcer, possibly BBC?)
*End, reversed, sung: "And the poor will toil..." (Edge from Van Diemen's Land) (overlapping BBC announcer dude)
LEFT CHANNEL
* Very beginning, super-speeded up: "Ask a younger guy, I think I'm rich/Mitch"
* Very beginning: drum track, reversed
Someone's voice, lowered in pitch, is heard throughout the song in the background. My gut feeling tells me that it's Larry. Where I say 'whispering', the voice is just lower in volume.
* - beginning, just before singing starts: "Baaa-badum-badum." (reversed)
* - right after "Jesus, Jesus help me": "Adam is a butthead.... please help" (reversed "Why doesn't somebody help me") (fades out, pauses, and fades back in during "somebody")
* - right after "I'm in alone in this world.": "Carrot stick." (reversed "It's alright")
* - in between "alone" and "in this world": "What?"
* - different voice (Edge?), after "in this world": "That's enough."
* - whispering just after "...world it is too": "See emotion" (reversed "Oh shit, police")
* - whispering just after first "tell me...": "No machine" (reversed)
* - just after "Tell me a story...": "Sorrow" (reversed)
* - whispering just after "...about eternity": "I wish I could have done better."
* - just after "The way it's all gonna be": "Listen quietly" (may be reversed "Why tell bullshit")
* - different voice, right after first "Wake up": unknown whispering sound (possibly "Somebody save me")
* - different voice(?), whispering just after first "Wake up dead man": "Are you sure that's all?"
* - just after "I'm waiting here boss.": "What do you want?" (speeded up, reversed)
* - just after "...looking out for us": "Shut up" (speeded up) "Please" (both reversed)
* - just after ".. tell you what to do.": "That's definately better." (reversed, speeded up)
* - right at end: "So now what?" (speeded up, reversed)
* - different voice, whispering just before "Can we rewind it...": "Listen"
Here is all the above placed where it is in the song. The actual vocals are in boldface, the 'bits' are preceded by the abbreviation of the stereo channel I swiped them from.

L: That's definately better (reversed)
Listen over the rhythm that's confusing you
Listen to the reed in the saxophone
Listen over the hum of the radio
Listen over sounds of quiet in rotation
Listen through the traffic in circulation
Listen to this hopeful voice try to rhyme
Listen over marching beats playing out of time
Wake up
Wake up dead man
Wake up
Wake up dead man
Jesus
Were You just around the corner?
Did You think to try and warn her?
Were You working on something new?
If there's an order
In all of this disorder
Is it like a tape recorder?

Can we rewind it just once more?

Wake up
Wake up dead man
