Альбом The Flaming Lips

Boy, you play so loud that you could wake the dead
And some of the living, they're wakin' too
When I look outside and these worlds collide
And sends shit flyin' everywhere

And everything's explodin'
And these cars are crashin' and everybody's happy
Everything's explodin'
And these cars are crashin' yeah

When I look in my mirror and my brains are fallin' out
Of my head...
Well, there's nothing wrong, it's just the way I feel
And if you don't like it, write your own song

Early in the mornin', just before the dawn
I turn my T.V. on and watch the fuzz
The sun scrapes away the first layers of the day
Nothing is meant; this is a beautiful accident
This could be the sunrise, or I could be wrong
'cause sometimes what looks like the sunrise
Turns out to be an atom bomb
Bombs are comin' in cereal packages [2x]
Early in the morning, just before the dawn
I turn my T.V. on and watch the fuzz

Well, we're standin' in the kitchen
And we're cookin' us some chicken
And the house is burnin' down
And we don't really care

See the children of the dealers
They're all kissin' their dead daddies
And their eyes are seein' backwards
They can't hear but they can sigh

Exploding butterflies hit and run
E*** k****** jumped the gun

Well, as far as I'm concerned
They all do it 'cause they wanna
So don't come around my backyard
Smokin' marijuana

What I can't see, I surely can't believe
What I can't see, you know I can't believe
It's only natural that I can't believe
What I can't see

I've seen the birds fly,
Watched the crashing tide
Talked a million miles away

Run through open fields
Heard the words of those who kneel
Still I wondered how to steal your love
But I never could believe in me

What've I gotta do to make you see me?
Should I lay down and cry
Maybe I should just die
'cause I really can't exist if you don't see me

[Playing this song backwards reveals the following:]

Mom you fucked up when you raised me.
I don't know, i don't know, i don't know.
Mike say something.
What, I can't here you?

[Screaming in the background]

Crazy eh?

Well, it's midnight in a liquor store
In texas on halloween
Salvador dali watches
From his window in a dream
Jesus is a rock star
Who destroys all he sees
Godzilla is a cowboy
Who is dressed up as a queen

She isn't as depressed as she used to be
Come on over here, my dear

Well, I hold my head real still
So I can't see very far
They got all these vietnamese
Heads stuffed into jars
They got all these things
That make them look like they're way in
They use polythene plastics
On their bods instead of skin

If I had someone to talk to
I wouldn't mind so much
But it takes so long to get there
Can't remember where I was
And I wouldn't mind to talk to you
Even if I could
The ceiling is bendin' on my telephone
Everything's gettin' weird
And my skin falls from my bones

I been wandering for quite a while
When it seems like love is all around
Seems when people can't get love
They substitute it with a bunch of drugs
If love was a drug that was real cheap
Everybody could get some sleep

I been wandering for quite a while
When it seems like love is all around
Seems when love don't get to far
They buy a real expensive car
If love was a car that was real cheap
Everybody would drive a jeep

Let's give love the marketing scam
Let's give love the marketing scam
Make it something they can understand
Let's give love the marketing scam
Let's give love the marketing scam
And get on with it

I've been wandering for quite a while
When it seems like love is all around
Seems when people don't have nobody
They spend their time makin' lots of money
If love was money and it was cheap
Everybody could get some sleep

I want to thank you
You've been the meaning of life for me
Now I can see the real me
Feelings I couldn't bear
All the things I wouldn't dare
Times I thought no one cared
Then I looked at you
You were there

Sometimes I think this has all been a dream
But I wake up to find that it's not what it seems in my mind
It's all mine

Feelings I couldn't bear
All the things I wouldn't dare
Times I thought no one cared
Then I looked at you
You were there

People don't know what the songs are about
They just sing them out like they mean
Something we never thought about

You can walk among us, but you can't walk on by
You just keep on bleedin' on your clothes as they dry
All your teflon pancakes always make me too high
You're thinkin' that you're here but you're really up in the sky

There she was just walkin' down the street
Smoking with her hands and walking with her feet
Keeping her paint cans underneath the seat
Keepin' her hair dryer on her favorite piece of meat

You can crush the flowers
But you can't stop the spring
No matter what you say

So you can put the clouds up in your own little way
But the sun is gonna come up the very next day
It's gonna be so bright it's gonna blow you away
And once it's over your head will never be the same

This man came up to me just the other day
He asked me if I'd been born again
I told him I didn't think I had
That I had been rejected
But I think hell's got all the good bands anyway

Sometimes I don't know what to think about the world
When this guy is burnin' up in the street with gasoline
And the flames show no mercy
So when you really need someone to talk to you
It doesn't always work like it's supposed to

You can love yer brain
Even if it slips down the drain
Man, I'm not no drug addict
But a person's gotta have something
To keep him from going insane

Well, this man kills this other man
Who's killed this other man, so it's okay
And this fourteen year old's sittin' in the electric chair
Smilin' and smokin' a cigarette
So I guess I was right all along readin' mad magazine
