This is the 7/8 guitar part that Belew plays during the singing:
 
e|----------------|----------------|--      ----------------|---------------|
B|----------2-----|----------2-----|--      ----------2-----|---------2-----|
G|--2---4-----4---|--2---4-----4---|- etc...--2---4-----4---|--2---4----4---|
D|----4---4-----4-|----4---4-----4-|--      ----3---3-----3-|----3---3----3-|
A|----------------|----------------|----    ----------------|---------------|
E|----------------|----------------|-       ----------------|---------------|
 
 
e|----------------|----------------|----------------|
B|----------2-----|----------2-----|----------5-----|
G|--2---4-----4---|--2---4-----4---|--5---7-----7---|  repeat the same pattern
D|----2---2-----2-|----2---2-----2-|----7---7-----7-|  at the 5th fret.
A|----------------|----------------|----------------|
E|----------------|----------------|----------------|
 
The fripp line on top of the belew 7/8 is basically the same riff in
alternating bars of 6 and 7, but KEEPING THE SAME 8th note value.
This produces the funky intervals you hear... and you thought it
was a delay! (I know *I* did first time I heard it... 8-)).
 
e|------------------|---------------|
B|------------2-----|----------2----|
G|--2---4-------4---|--2---4--------|
D|----2---2-------2-|----2---2---2--|
A|------------------|---------------|  etc. over the 7/8 above...
E|------------------|---------------|
 
 
The chording during fripps' wacked out picking in the intro and
between verses seems to be a barred 9th chord, dropping the
unison on the G string to the major 7th, ie
 
e|--2-----2--2----|
B|--2-----2--2----|
G|--4-----3--4----|
D|--4-----4--4----|
A|--2-----2--2----|
E|--2-----2--2----|
 
with appropriate whammy bar antics for the first chord, then up to a
Dsus2 (5th & 7th fretts) then again another 3rd.
 
Oh yeah, when the 13/8 and 7/8 fall back together, they play for
about 3 bars both in 7 *then* drop the bass note as noted above.
 
Some one is yet to figure out the "wacked out fripp part".

Excellent work on the 13/8 part, but I found a small error in the
second change of the 7/8 part: Instead of the second note in each
measure moving down another half step, the first note moves down a
half step.  I've also made some headway into the "Wacked out Fripp part."

However, it's based on the following:
 
e|------------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------------|
G|------------------------------------------------|
D|-----5-7-5-------5-7-5-------5-7-5--------------|
A|-5-8-------8-5-8-------8-5-8-------8------------|  etc
E|------------------------------------------------|
 
Which modulates up to the 7th fret, then 10th, then 11th. The rhythm
is strange, I can't pin down if it's sextuplets, 6 against 4, or what.
It seems like he adds some notes sometimes to make things fit in.
