We asperitz enema serial world

The story:

The 'Ghosts' album came out just before christmas break in
college. I made taped copies for my girlfriend and myself to listen
on our walkmen, we were both huge Police fans. Visiting family
without the liner notes, I had trouble with this one (I also had never
heard of an 'acetyline light' which was mentioned in the 'Invisible
Sun' song) and only could catch "asperitz' #@* serial world". I
thought 'serial' sounded like something Sting would write. I
received a letter (remember those?) from my girlfriend asking "what
does 'asperitz' mean?" Exactly the same spelling I had figured
myself! I realized that 'enema' had to be wrong at the time, but
geez, couldn't catch the true word!
