Here are the 99% right lyrics...L.Ron Hubbard

[bruised_kiwi]

Heres what I got......These are the most "right"lyrics that I have compiled and written...


Alrighty then,
Picture this if you will:
10-2am/Grabbed at 2am and actually eating a (peanut?) box of Krispie Cremes
at my need to know post, just outside area 51,contemplating the hoax
the chosen people thing were just in a flaming-filled banana split
the skylight welled right open
never really expected to see a place like this
(?I do believe I spilled a?) (diamond sundae?) on my birkenstocks
And me yelping

HOLY FUCKIN SHIT

Then the x-files
being who was in some kind of blue-green jetship with Isabella Rossellini lips and breath that reeked
and he went abananadabanana so when I opened up my bug eyes,
my gaping jaw and my sweaty L Ron Hubbard upper lip,
and all I could think was..."

So alive in his way, like an apparition he had me crying out:
Fuck me
It's gotta be
Deadhead
Chemistry
The blotter got right on top of me
It's got me seeing E motherfucking T

And after calming me down with some orange slices and some [needle/fetal] spooning the ET revealed to me his singular purpose he said:
"You are the chosen one. The one who will deliver the message. A message of hope for those who should choose to hear it and a warning for those who do not."

Me, the chosen one
They chose me, and I didn't even graduate from fucking high school

You'd better.......
You'd better.......
You'd better.......
You'd better listen.

Then he looked right through me
With somniferous almond eyes
Don't even know what that means
Must remember to write it down
This is so real
Like the time they floated away
See, my heart is pounding
Cause this shit never happens to me

I can't breathe right now

It was so real,
Like I woke up in wonderland
Also terrifying
I don't want to be all alone,
When I tell the story
And can anyone tell me why?
(peanuts,parrots?)
Will I ever be coming down
This is so real
Finally it's my lucky day
See, my heart is racing
This shit never happens to me

I can't breathe right now

You believe me don't you?
Please believe what I just said
See they're telling [?],
And this wasn't all in my head.
See they took me by the hand
And invited me right in
Then they showed me something
I don't even know where to begin

Strapped down on my bed
Feet cold and eyes red.
I'm out my head
Am I alive? Am I dead?
Can't remember what they said
God damn, I shit the bed

High...... High...... High...... high......

Overwhelmed as one would be, placed in my position
Such a heavy burden now to be, the one
Born to bear and write you all the details of our ending
To write it down for all the world to see
But I forgot my pen
Shit the bed again... typical

Strapped down on my bed
Feet cold and eyes red
I'm out of my head
Am my alive? Am my dead?
Sunkist and sudafed
Gyroscopes and infrared
Won't help the braindead
Can't remember what they said
God damn, I shit the bed

I can't remember what they said, to me.
Can’t remember what they said to make me out to be a hero.

I can't remember what they said.

God help me.

I can’t remember what they said.

Don't know, won't know, don't know, won't know, don't know, won't know.....
God damn, I shit the bed

[M.Luther]

good work
listen to this live version
http://youtube.com/watch?v=HOOM2Kn61qI&search=rosetta%20stoned

that should make your lyrics 100%
ps i dunno about the video so dont ask-the guy who posted it originally doesn't know either.

[blackandwhite]

Good work, it's good to ahve it all in one place.

[BlanketEffect]

my gaping jaw and my sweaty L Ron Hubbard upper lip,
and all I could think was..."
"...I hope my partner here doesn't realize I pissed my fucking pants"

[Vondruke]

(peanuts/parrots)=

"can anyone tell me why they sound like peanuts parents?"

[Muladhara]

I don't agree that this is 99% at all.

This bit is nearly all wrong:

"Alrighty then,
Picture this if you will:
10-2am/Grabbed at 2am and actually eating a (peanut?) box of Krispie Cremes
at my need to know post, just outside area 51,contemplating the hoax

the skylight welled right open
never really expected to see a place like this
(?I do believe I spilled a?) (diamond sundae?) on my birkenstocks
And me yelping"

It's something more like:

"Alrighty then,
Picture this if you will:
Ten to two am and actually eating a beat-up box of Krispie Cremes at my need to know post just outside area 51, contemplating the whole chosen people thing, when just then a flaming stealth banana split the sky, like, wide open.
I never really expected to see it in a place like this.
Anyway, I thought I was gonna die when something ran over my Birkenstocks that had me yelping..."

This bit:

"Then the x-files
being who was in some kind of blue-green jetship with Isabella Rossellini lips and breath that reeked
and he went abananadabanana so when I opened up my bug eyes,
my gaping jaw and my sweaty L Ron Hubbard upper lip,
and all I could think was..." "

Is mostly wrong too, it's more like:

"Then the X-File being who looked like some kind of blue-green Jackie Chan with Isabella Rossellini lips and breath that reeked (no idea on this next bit here) up my bug eyes, my gaping jaw and my sweaty lower and upper lip,
and all I could think was I hope my partner here doesn't notice that I pissed my fucking pants.""

No idea why anyone would put "my L.Ron Hubbard upper lip.", every time he mentions a celebrity in the song it's to try and describe the being, not himself, lower and upper lip makes more sense.

[bruised_kiwi]

I have listened to the every live version I could find as well as the studio......It CLEARLY sayd L Ron Hubbard

[Muladhara]

I have listened to the every live version I could find as well as the studio......It CLEARLY sayd L Ron Hubbard

I completely disagree.

Oh well!

[autumnleigh]

(peanuts/parrots)=

"can anyone tell me why they sound like peanuts parents?"

I actually think its:

can anyone tell my why, all around its peanuts parents

Listen closely to the live recording in this link.

[vicariouslyeye]

he does say l ron hubbard, listen closly
1000% sure

[DTrain]

he does say l ron hubbard, listen closly
1000% sure

I'm pretty sure it's L. Ron Hubbard. It sounds like that to me anyway!

Previously I had some links to other places that mentioned L Ron Hubbard's sweaty upper lip... unfortunately now places that have tool lyrics have taken to the top of the google listing :P It's making it more difficult to find. Although I can still find reference to "trademark Scientology sweat-on-the-upper-lip smirk" -- although it isn't directly related to L Ron Hubbard himself.

*shrug* I guess we won't know "for sure" until official lyrics are released.

How is this NOT clearly "L Ron Hubbard Up"?:

[Shaz]

It was so real,
Like I woke up in wonderland
All so terrifying
I don't want to be all alone,
When I tell the story
And can anyone tell me why,

Those are the meanest parents?



ive always heard that.. heh im usually
wrong tho...


peace

[djqwerty13]

Just because the live version is one way... doesn't necessarily mean that the album lyrics are that way... Tool has changed their lyrics live over and over again

[Inner_Eulogy]

(peanuts/parrots)=

"can anyone tell me why they sound like peanuts parents?"

"I was on a peanut to Paris"

[DTrain]

Just because the live version is one way... doesn't necessarily mean that the album lyrics are that way... Tool has changed their lyrics live over and over again

This is true, and the same argument will be cited when the "official" lyrics come out becuase they're not always 100% to the recorded version. ("Just remember I will always love you, even as I TEAR[/claw?] your fucking throat away!")

The truth is, there will always be discussion about this becuase people hear somthing "clearly", and their brain won't let them hear anything else. When presented with somthing unclear, our brain will fill in the gaps -- this is true for all of our senses. Unfortunately, it has the side effect of affecting anything else that fits a similar pattern. If your brain has already filled in the gaps, there is quite often no going back.

Alot of people (including myself) heard peanuts parents before any live versions came out.... sadly, this could be the result of our brains filling in the gaps a certain way because "penuts parents" makes sense in the context of the song to us.

There really is no way to proove anything when someone sets their mind to a specific conclusion. All we can do is make our suggestions, and accept that not everyone will agree with us just becuase we think "we're 100% sure of it".

I personally think it's penuts parents because they always sounded kinda muffled and unclear -- the penut's creators impression of a kid's listening skill when it comes to adults. It makes sense in the context of this song on 2 levels:

1) If he really is with a bunch of aliens, they probably sound unclear and he can't figure out what they're saying

2) If he's simply a guy fucked up on drugs and there are no aliens... it might represent his complete inability process what's going on around him -- everyone/thing sounds kinda fucked up and unclear.

I'm 100% certain that's what _I_ hear (just like I'm 100% certain _I_ hear L Ron Hubbard)... but that doesn't mean it's what you hear!

I support Muladhara on this

[CaseLogic]

Should be "Born to bear and read to all" not "write you all"

[autumnleigh]

"I was on a peanut to Paris"

Yes!, this was what I thought he sang the very first few times I heard this song. I would back it up and sure enough, "I was on a peanut to Paris"

But what the hell does that mean? If that is a drug refrence it is one I have never heard of. And I have heard alot. LOL

[Sudafed]

At the beginning, I always hear...

"Damn near 2am and actually..."

I never see anyone else post it this way so maybe I'm the idiot?

[couldbe]

peanuts parents< it was a repeat experience :)

[themanime]

peanuts parents< it was a repeat experience :)
Repeat experience wouldn't make sense.
The reason being this line.

See, my heart is racing
This shit never happens to me

[operativex]

I support Muladhara on this

+1

[couldbe]

Repeat experience wouldn't make sense.
The reason being this line.

See, my heart is racing
This shit never happens to me if he never remembers what happens each time cuz he forgot his pen it does...

[BlanketEffect]

I think both the "repeat experience" line and the "peanuts parents" line can both make sense in the context of the song. I personally hear "repeat expeience," but it's all subjective. (the peanut to paris idea is just assinine, however - speak of it no longer)

I also concur with Muladhara on all but the above point and I also think it is L. Ron Hubbard lip... Lower and upper lip just seems like a redundant and arbitrary way to say the idea. He could have just said lips. Saying both lower and upper lips just doesn't seem... well... Maynard? He's usually a bit more well-written.

[Muladhara]

"Flaming stealth banana" and "Isabella Rosallini lips" is 'Maynard'?

"Sweaty L.Ron Hubbard upper lip" is Maynard?

Whatever it is, he's referring to sweaty lips, so we have that part.

I'm more interested in the bit after the "breath that reeked" bit as I haven't seen any interpretations that sound right to me.

And my girlfriend thinks the "peanuts parents" bit is "It was such a key/keen experience".

Personally, I have no idea.

[BlanketEffect]

Yeah, right after breath that reeked he says something to the effect of

"xxx xxxxx xxxxx while making the sound abananadabanana when I opened up my bug eyes - my gaping jaw and my sweaty L. Ron Hubbard lip."

But as for the very first part of the line I'm pretty much clueless. If you can, listen to these songs on a pair of decent or good headphones. You'd be amazed at how many things jump out at you clearly on headphones that you don't hear even in the best car audio or home theatre systems.

[parables in the world]

i hear something also that NO-ONE has posted.i don't have my cd player with me but its before the climax, i hear......"i'm here all alone." has anyone else heard this.

[revolution9]

regarding the peanuts part...

I honestly, at first thought he said "can anyone tell me why my penis hurts?" ...from a possible alien probing??

[Spaceman Spiff]

I thought I heard "kaleidoscopes" as opposed to "gyroscopes"...

[religion kills]

For what it's worth this is what I came up with. For some reason this song has captured my interest more than it should and I've found myself obsessed with the true lyrics. After many listens and adjustments to the EQ to lower all frequencies below 1K to zero and turning the balance to only the right channel to get primarily only the vocals this is what I've come up with. To me it's the closest I've seen written in this thread. There are references mixed in that may not make sense at first untill you begin to step outside the state of concrete thinking. Remember what the story is telling you and they begin to come clear. I also posted this in the sticky. What say you? Here goes.......




Alrighty then
Picture this if you will

10 to 2 am and actually eating the emptied out box of Krispy Kremes
in my need to know post just outside of area 51
Contemplating the whole chosen people thing
When just then a flaming stealth banana split the sky, like, wide open
I didn't really expect to see it in a place like this
and their reticle put just a diamond sun right on my Birkenstock's, had me yelping
HOLY FUCKING SHIT!

Then the X-file being who looked like some kind of blue-green Jackie Chan
with Isabella Rosellini lips and breath that reeked,
did a wicked jump and in a slow mo made this sound abananabanana
So then I opened up my bug eyes, my gaping jaw, and my sweaty L. Ron Hubbard upper lip and all I could think was.
I hope Uncle Martin here doesn't notice that I pissed my fucking pants.

So light in his way
Like an apparition he, had me crying out
Fuck Me!
It's gotta be!
Dead head, chemistry
Blotter got right on top of me
Got me seein'
E motherfuckin' T

And after calming me down with some orange slices and some fetal spooning
ET revealed to me his singular purpose
He said, “You, are the chosen one.”
“The one who'll deliver the message.”
“A message of hope for those who choose to hear it, and a warning for those who do not.”
Me, the chosen one. They chose me, and I didn't graduate from fuckin' high school.

You had better
You had better
You had better
You had better, listen

Then he looked right through me
With somniferous almond eyes
Don't even know what that means
Must remember to right it down
This is so real
Like the time Dave floated away
See my heart is pounding
'cause this shit never happens to me

Can't breath, right now

It was so real
Like I woke up in Wonderland
All so terrifying
I don't want to be all alone
when I tell this story
and can anyone tell me why, all the sudden the peanuts dance
Will I ever be coming down
This is so real
Finally it's my lucky day
See my heart is racing
'cause this shit never happens to me

Can't breath right now

You believe me don't you
Please believe what I just said
See the Dead aint touring
and this wasn't all in my head

See they took me by the hand
and invited me right in
Then they showed me something
I don't even know where to begin

Strapped down, to my bed
feet cold
eyes red
I'm out of my head
Am I alive, am I dead
Can't remember what they said
God damn, shit the bed

Heyyyy.....Heyyyy...Heyyyy....I....iiiii...high... i..iiiii....high....high....ohh ohhhh ohh........

Overwhelmed as one would be
placed in my position
such a heavy, burden now to be, the one
born to bear and read you all, the details of our ending
to right it down for all the world to see
but I forgot my pen
shit the bed again
typical


Strapped down to my bed
feet cold
eyes red
I'm out of my head
Am I alive, am I dead
Sunkist, Sudafed
gyroscopes, and infrared
wont help the brain dead
Can't remember what they said
God damn, shit the bed

Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii....cant remember what they said, to me!
Can't remember what they said, to, make, me out, to, be, a hero
can't remember what he said

God(but)...help me
can't remember what he said

Don't know,won't know, don't know, won't know, don't know, won't know, don't know, won't know, don't know, won't know, don't know, won't know, don't know, won't know, don't know, won't know, don't know, won't know, don't know, won't know, don't know, won't know, don't know, won't know

God damn, shit the bed!

[whitewater]

Good transcription. I know it doesn't make much sense, but, I'd bet money on the first verse being more like this:

10 to 2 am and at the show eating a peanut box of Krispy Kremes
in my need to know post just outside of area 51
Contemplating the whole chosen people thing
When just then a flaming stealth banana split the sky, like, wide open
never really expected to see it in a place like this
and their reticle put ______ a diamond something right on my Birkenstock's, had me yelping
HOLY FUCKING SHIT!

[Filth Monger]

I always hear "...an entire box of Krispy Kremes and my need to know potion...", but it's so incredibly muffled I am probably wrong. Also, I hear "...it was surreal," instead of so real...

[moneyisevil]

"AND CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHY ALL OF A SUDDEN THE PEANUTS DANCE?"

THATS WHAT HE SAYS...100% SURE

[BlanketEffect]

As sur as you are of that I'm sure I consistantly hear "it was a repeat experience?" - I'm telling you all, the secret is to use headphones. You'll instantly hear things you never even noticed, let alone analyzed before

[religion kills]

As sur as you are of that I'm sure I consistantly hear "it was a repeat experience?" - I'm telling you all, the secret is to use headphones. You'll instantly hear things you never even noticed, let alone analyzed before


Gotta disagree. I've listened on home stereo, headphones, PC set up and I don't hear "it was a repeat experience" on any of them. It may not be "peanuts dance" 100% but the spacing of the sylables don't fit for "it was a repeat experience". The key is to use an EQ and drop all the bass and guitar out of the signal (everything below 1k) and you can pick up the details of the vocals and the sylable patterns much more clearly.

[BlanketEffect]

Okay, I'll concede that it may not 'clearly' be "repeat experience" to everyone but the line definitely starts off with "It was a"...

And I tried your idea about turning down the non-vocal EQs... quite frankly I still hear "repeat experience" more than any other other suggestion. I tried listening to both the normal pitch vocal as well as later listening to the octave-dropped one. To me it's still very clear that he's saying "repeat experience"

Also, don't forget that because of the dual-vocal track in that section of the song the enunciation and spacing of some words is a bit out of sorts because the two vocal tracks aren't sung in perfect unison. The words are almost sung rather lazily with even a disregard for keeping the correct pitch. I like the lazy tonal quality in that part, it conveys the confusion the experiencer must have been feeling. But, it detracts from the ability to hear lyrics definitively.

We'll just have to agree to disagree until the official gets released.

[whitewater]

"AND CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHY ALL OF A SUDDEN THE PEANUTS DANCE?"

THATS WHAT HE SAYS...100% SURE


I agree.

[MayorofNecropolis]

Repeat experience wouldn't make sense.
The reason being this line.

See, my heart is racing
This shit never happens to me

Well if you guys have ever tripped acid/lsd then you would know what the hell a repeat experience is. Im just saying "can anybody tell me why this was a repeat experience and will i ever be coming down" makes perfect sense, just fyi when i did it, it was all sorts of fucked up and kept telling one of my best friends when will this end, this is just the same feeling over and over again, i just want this to end. Actually now that i think about it, it kinda is similar to the song. Not lying here guys just thought i would fill you in on that particular verse.

And also the post above me definitley needs to listen a little bit closer "CANT BREATHE RIGHT NOW!" IT WAS SO REAL/SURREAL, LIKE I WOKE UP IN WONDERLAND, ALL SORT OF TERRIFYING, I DONT WANT TO BE ALL ALONE, WHEN I TELL THIS STORY, AND CAN ANY ONE TELL ME WHY IT WAS A REPEAT EXPERIENCE(sounds like expeerence kinda), WILL I EVER BE COMING DOWN THIS IS SURREAL, FINALLY ITS MY LUCKY DAY, SEE MY HEART IS RACING CAUSE THIS SHIT NEVER HAPPENS TO ME"

[MayorofNecropolis]

Alright then,

sorry bout the crappy format i used to post this song

[Doowadiddy]

"Peanuts parents" makes sense because that is probably how he remembers what they said. All of the adults in the Peanuts cartoons sounded like "WaaWaa...WaaWaaWaa." He can remember them speaking but not make out what they said.

i agree with ur thinking....it makes sense

however like i said, im almost 100% he says "why all of a sudden the peanuts dance?"

[Doowadiddy]

i agree with ur thinking....it makes sense

however like i said, im almost 100% he says "why all of a sudden the peanuts dance?"

Maybe he was eating a jar of Planter's and the peanut man was actually dancing...I've seen stranger things happen under those circumstances!

[MarsSerpent]

As sur as you are of that I'm sure I consistantly hear "it was a repeat experience?" - I'm telling you all, the secret is to use headphones. You'll instantly hear things you never even noticed, let alone analyzed before


That is so true, I was listening to Excess by Tricky yesterday and I picked up on so many different things in the background I didn't hear with speakers. If your going to analyze music, definatly use headphones for a more accurate way to listen to it.

[BlanketEffect]

The line most in question, the one after 'breath that reeked'... I don't know for sure what he's saying, but phonetically it matches this: "and were chomping aeresol making the sound abananadabanana..."

And after listening to it on the phones about a donzen times in a row with the EQ tweaked for vocals it's apparent, to me, that he is saying 'my sweaty L. Ron Hubbard upper lip." - otherwise, phonetically, the number of syllables he's using would mean he was saying 'my sweaty lower upper and upper lip' - which makes even less sense than 'L. Ron Hubbard upper lip' which at least makes sense if you understand whatever he's trying to use L. Ron Hubbard's upper lip to illustrate... I'm not too familiar with LRH's face, though.

Also, I agree with the sentiment posted above on the logic behind it being 'it was a repeat experience' - psychedelics have that feeling to them whether you've ever been that far on them or not. So I'm not saying I know it is that... but I'm trying to be very objective and playing the sound frame by frame so I can listen to the syllables individually and each phonetic sound lends itself to this observation.

I hear it as "See the Dead aint touring". Capitalized, as I interperit it as another Gratefull Dead reference along with "Dead Head chemistry". Dead Head/Gratefull Dead=LSD/psychedelic use. The third and fourth line is one sentence/thought. That's how I see it anyway.

I hear it as "See the Dead aint touring". Capitalized, as I interperit it as another Gratefull Dead reference along with "Dead Head chemistry". Dead Head/Gratefull Dead=LSD/psychedelic use. The third and fourth line is one sentence/thought. That's how I see it anyway.

Maynard made a reference to the greatful dead in an interview in my drum media magazine! :o cmon everyone, lets conspiricitate!

here are mine....

Alrighty, then
Picture this if you will.

10 to 2 AM, and
I’m actually eating up an old
box of Krispy Kremes,
at my need-to-know post
just outside Area 51 contemplating
the whole "chosen people" thing
when a flaming, stealth banana split the sky, like, wide open.
I never expected to see it in a place like this.
I do believe I spilled a
diamond sundae
right on my Birkenstocks.
Then the yelping
Holy fucking shit!

Then the X-Files beings,
who were in some kind of blue-gray jet ship
with Isabella Rossellini lips with breath that reeked,
did a wicked jump there
also while making the sound a-banana-da-banana
that's when I opened up my bug-eyes,
my gaping jaw,
and my sweaty lower and upper lip,
and all I could think was,
"I hope my partner here doesn't notice
that I pissed my fuckin' pants."

So alive this way
Like an apparition,
He had me crying out,
"Fuck me
It's gotta be
Deadhead
Chemistry
The bottom got on top of me
Got me seein' E-mother fuckin'-T!"

And after calming me down
with some orange slices
and some fetal spooning,
E.T. revealed to me his singular purpose.
He said, "You are the Chosen One,
the One who will deliver the message.
A message of hope to those who choose to hear it
and a warning to those who do not."
Me. The Chosen One?
They chose me, and I didn't graduate from fuckin' high school.

You'd better...
You'd better...
You'd better...
You'd better listen.

Then he looked right through me
With somniferous almond eyes
Don't even know what that means
Must remember to write it down
This is so real
Like the time he floated away
See, my heart is pounding
'Cause this shit never happens to me

I can't breathe right now!

It was so real,
Like I woke up in Wonderland
Also terrifying
I don't wanna be all alone
When I tell this story
And can anyone tell me why
It was a repeat experience
Will I ever be coming down?
This is so real
Finally, it's my lucky day
See, my heart is racing
'Cause this shit never happens to me

I can't breathe right now!

You believe me, don't you?
Please believe what I just said!
See them telling children
And this wasn't all in my head.
See, they took me by the hand
And invited me right in.
Then they showed me something
I don't even know where to begin.

Strapped down on my bed
Feet cold, eyes red
I'm out of my head
Am I alive? Am I dead?
Can't remember what they said
God damn, shit the bed

Hey eh
Overwhelmed as one would be, placed in my position.
Such a heavy burden now to be the One
Born to bear and read you all the details of our ending,
To write it down for all the world to see.
But I forgot my pen
Shit the bed again
Typical

Strapped down on my bed
Feet cold and eyes red
I'm out of my head
Am I alive? Am I dead?
Sunkist and Sudafed
Gyroscopes and infrared
Won't help, brain dead
Can't remember what they said
God damn, shit the bed

I can't remember what they said to me
Can't remember what they said to make me out to be a hero
Can't remember what they said
God help me!
Can't remember what they said
Don't know, won't know (x12)
God damn, shit the bed!

I hear it as "See the Dead aint touring". Capitalized, as I interperit it as another Gratefull Dead reference along with "Dead Head chemistry". Dead Head/Gratefull Dead=LSD/psychedelic use. The third and fourth line is one sentence/thought. That's how I see it anyway.

I was hearing "See the dead..." and didn't know what else afterwards or how "dead" made sense but what you're saying fits and sounds right. In the beginning of the song where he says, "Fuck me, gotta be, dead head chemistry" I interpretted it as though he was not at the time on acid, but he thought maybe he was hallucinating because of the drugs he did decades ago. So this fits with that, that he's didn't do drugs that night and it was real. but then that orange slices line doesn't fit as well so I'll have to think about that...

I think you nailed it. Nice one. It would make sense even w/o the 'dead head chemistry' line. More 'hippy haze' humor.
That's one of the lines I still wasn't sure about.



Others I am not sold on (for whatever it's worth):

the 'peanuts parents'/'repeat experience' line, I think it's 'peanuts parents' but can't figure out the context "could someone tell me why I was one of the peanuts parents?" I don't know, no more of a reach than 'repeat experience' in context.
It's funny this had to be explained earlier (the wah0wah sound of peanuts parents) but I thought the same thing about the dead head referrences, maybe I am just old like Maynard. Gotta remember that some of on this forum may not even know who the Dead are or Charles Schultz is, wow......that's cool, though not trying to be an ageist here.

like the time they/Dave floated away
I think Dave makes sense here and it sounds like it but I wouldn't swear to it.
I think taking another crack at Dave fits this song nicely, not to mention it sounds phonetically like Dave.....and 'they' for that matter.

also good job to ever nailed 'did a wicked jump there', that was the first time I had seen that one.

One more.... 'blue/gray jet ship' sure does sound like something else, but it does make sense, I think this one is quite suggestive though. Might need to listen to this line over with some soundforge-ation.

Outside of that, and the understanding that some of my questions could be in err, I think this thing is coming pretty close to being as close as we're gonna get.

Thanks, I think there are several references that work together in this song.

This was what I have in my transrciption. It goes along with the reference to Jackie Chan. Everyone knows who Jackie Chan is no? Martial arts? Jump? Then of course the reference to Uncle Martin who was the alien character on "My Favorite Martian" See I'm old enough to remember some of these references too!

"Then the X-file being who looked like some kind of blue-green Jackie Chan
with Isabella Rosellini lips and breath that reeked,
did a wicked jump and in a slow mo made this sound abananadabanana
So then I opened up my bug eyes, my gaping jaw, and my sweaty L. Ron Hubbard upper lip and all I could think was.
I hope Uncle Martin here doesn't notice that I pissed my fucking pants."

That's the first lyrics idea that I've heard that differed from my interpretation that I think sounds viable, both contextually as well as phonetically.

[WinkyFrog64]

It sounds like "aboriginee", not apparition. It goes with the Australia thing.

[EternalSiGN]

i still go with my lyrics when u have it up loud u can hear it pretty clear

[religion kills]

Couple of minor revisions after more listening......... Also with fresh ears I am now hearing two sometimes three sylables in the last word of the "Can anyone tell me why, all the sudden the - - / - - - " line where dashes represent # of sylables.



Alrighty then
Picture this if you will

10 to 2 am and actually eating an emptied out box of Krispy Kremes
in my need to know post just outside of area 51
Contemplating the whole chosen people thing
When just then a flaming stealth banana split the sky, like, wide open
I didn't really expect to see it in a place like this
and their reticle put just a diamond sun right on my Birkenstock's, had me yelping
HOLY FUCKING SHIT!

So light in his way
Like an apparition he, had me crying out
Fuck Me!
It's gotta be!
Dead head, chemistry
Blotter got right on top of me
Got me seein'
E motherfuckin' T

And after calming me down with some orange slices and some fetal spooning
ET revealed to me his singular purpose
He said, “You, are the chosen one.”
“The one who'll deliver the message.”
“A message of hope for those who choose to hear it, and a warning for those who do not.”
Me, the chosen one. They chose me, and I didn't graduate from fuckin' high school.

You had better
You had better
You had better
You had better, listen

Then he looked right through me
With somniferous almond eyes
Don't even know what that means
Must remember to write it down
This is so real
Like the time Dave floated away
See my heart is pounding
'cause this shit never happens to me

Can't breath, right now

It was so real
Like I woke up in Wonderland
All sort of terrifying
I don't want to be all alone
when I tell this story
and can anyone tell me why, all the sudden the peanuts dance
Will I ever be coming down
This is so real
Finally it's my lucky day
See my heart is racing
'cause this shit never happens to me

Can't breath right now

You believe me don't you
Please believe what I just said
See the Dead aint touring
and this wasn't all in my head

See they took me by the hand
and invited me right in
Then they showed me something
I don't even know where to begin

Strapped down, to my bed

Am I alive, am I dead
Can't remember what they said
God damn, shit the bed

Heyyyy.....Heyyyy...Heyyyy....I....iiiii...high... i..iiiii....high....high....ohh ohhhh ohh........

Overwhelmed as one would be

[whitewater]

I think you've got it pretty damn accurate there r_k

[emericus]

What i have is exactly what R_K has with one exception:

"see the dead ain't touring"

Instead, i have "see the telling TOOL"

I think your lyrics are pretty solid.

[Traitorbrain]

I think its saying "it was a repeat experience" it makes the most sense too, like when your having a bad trip and you felt like you've been there forever doing the same thing over and over again.

[formerlycontent]

i heard "eating a penis or a box oh this is clit cream"

[JE Mack]

I think its saying "it was a repeat experience" it makes the most sense too, like when your having a bad trip and you felt like you've been there forever doing the same thing over and over again.

no, i think repeat experience makes less sense than "it all felt like Peanut's parents' because he would have a better chance of remembering the message (wouldn't be as likely to forget his pen every time) if it was a repeat experience. plus, it seems like the narrator is disappointed with himself at the end but if it was a repeat experience he could hope maybe they'd come back again and tell him the message one more time. Peanut's parents at least explains why he didn't remember the message -- he didn't understand it all.

[BlanketEffect]

Well, I listened today with fresh ears and I do believe it's "the Dead ain't touring" - I wasn't even paying much attention to it and it just jumped out at me - and that's certainly not what my opinion was before, so now I'm more inclined to agree.

Also, I still think 'repeat experience' makes total sense (and is also what I still hear) in that like what Traitorbrain was saying. Having done DMT many times myself I know what it's like... every time you're deep in the trip you have this sense come over you that this is signifigant shit and you should write it down... but it comes out as babble or more commonly, you're so far gone in the trip that getting up to get a pen to write it down or even write it down if you had a pen in your hand it would be WAY too much work to try to focus on that kind of goal.
