with a little help from cool edit pro, here's what I've come up with.
hope this helps. forgive the grammar and such (work-tool in oakland-work-kings game-work-a joint) I'm frickin tired.
Alrighty then,
picture this if you will....
just at 2:00 A.M.
??? show media,
we had a box of crispy creams and ??? ??? ????
As I saw Area 51, contemplating the ???
people seemed to think they were just another ???
but just then a flamming bannana split the sky right open,
though I never expected to see 'em in a place like this.
anyway, I thought I was gonna die when something ran up my berkinstocks
and ??? me. Holy fuckin shit!!
Then the x-files began, there was some kind of blue/green Jackie Chan
with annabella rosellini lips and breath that wreaked and [they/then]
went to ??? but then entered the bannana vessle and heard about my
bug eyes,
my gapping jaw,
and my ???,
and all I can think is -
I hope uncle quark here doesn't know I just pissed my fuckin pants.
So I lye this way,
like an aparition,
help me cryin' out
FUCK ME....
GOTTA BE....
THE DEAD HEAD.....
CHEMISTRY.....
OH NO, ITS ON TOP OF ME...
GOT ME SEE'IN DIFFERENTLY
and after calming me down with some orange slices
and ??? pudding,
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 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 even graduate from fuckin high school.
you better
you better
you better listen
then he looked right through me,
with some different almond eyes,
dont even know that means,
please remember to write this down.
this is so real,
like a ??? ???
see my heart is ???
cause this shit never happens to me.
cant breath right now
it was so real,
I can look up and wonder when.
all sort of terrifying
I dont want to be all alone...
when i tell this story & can anyone tell me why
??? ??? ???
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
cant breath right now
you believe me don't you?
please believe what I just said
see they're telling ???
and this wasn't all a ???
till they took the other hand
??? ??? to be right here
then they showed me something
I don't even know where to begin.
STRAPED DOWN
MY BED
FEET COLD
EYES RED
OH NO
MY HEAD
MY LIFE
MY DICK
CANT REMEMBER
WHAT THEY SAID
GOD DAMN
SHIT THE BED
overwhelmed as one would be,
placed in my position,
such a heavy burden now to be the one
??? ??? read to all, the details never ending,
to write it down for all the world to see,
but i forgot my pen,
shit the bed a gain, typical..
STRAPED DOWN
MY BED
FEET COLD
EYES RED
IM OUT
OF MY HEAD
MY LIFE
MY DEAD
SUNKIST THE SUDAFED
GYROSCOPES
AND INFRARED
CANT HELP
THE BRAIN DEAD
CANT REMEMBER
WHAT THEY SAID
GOD DAMN
SHIT THE BED
i cant remember what they said to me
cant remember what they said
i cant remember what they said to me
they ought to be a hero
cant remember what he said
god help me,
cant remember what he said
oh no
dont know
god damn
SHIT THE BED
so thats the best I can do. The program allowed me to slow down the words and
drop the music considerably, however, it's still rather vague at parts.

despite the fact on the live bootleg it does kinda sound like "born to bear and read to all the details of our ending..." im still so sure its "born to bear IN MIND to all the details of our ending..." especially with the recorded version.

Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems to me that there are only a few lines of the song still up for debate. Which is about as many as the other songs. So maybe the lyrics could be posted soon?

It's "Holy fuckin' shit!". I can't believe there's any dispute on this.
Also, I don't know if anyone hears this and I'm not looking over 10 pages, but near the beginning I hear "At my need-to-know post outside Area 51, contemplating the whole 'chosen people' thing."

just at 2:00 A.M.

So I lye this way,
like an aparition,

FUCK ME....
GOTTA BE....
THE DEAD HEAD.....
CHEMISTRY.....
OH NO, ITS ON TOP OF ME...
GOT ME SEE'IN DIFFERENTLY

he said you are the chosen one,
the one who will 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 even graduate from fuckin high school.
|
All right using some of my El' cheapo media player software to slowdown the song I'm putting in my two cents worth. It seems the only disputes come about the quick spoken intro that ends at 2:12.
Alright than, picture this if you will,
Begins at 2 AM (? At show ?) media, get a box of Krispy Kreams
and my need to know (? producer ?) as I saw Area 51
contemplating the whole chosen people thing
that we just threw (? flaming stoning ?) and ? split the sky line wide open
never expected to see it at a place like this.
anyway, I thought I was gonna die when something ran up my berkinstocks
and yielded me, holy fuckin shit!!
Than the X-File began looked like some kind of blue-green (? Jackey shit ?) with
(I don't hear Jackie Chan here^)
Isabella Roselini lips and breath that reeked(<-SP) (? chopped ?? global making ?? just another ?? ?) bannana vessel that hovered above my bug eyes, my (acheing/gaping) jaw, and my sweaty (? open upper lip ?)
and all I could think was, I hope uncle quark here doesn't notice I pissed my fuckin pants.
so alive this way, like an apirition that had me cryin out
fuck me, gotta be, dead head, chemistry, oh god what's on top of me? got me sayin (? People are/evil is watching me ?)
And after calming me down with some orange slices and some (? needle 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 for those who choose to hear it,
and a warning for those who do not.
Me? They've chosen one, they chose me, and I didn't graduate from fuckin highschool.
That's my take on it. It's a fuckin awesome song and I'm more than open for critique cause I want this to get solved and be posted just as much as you guys.

Alright than, picture this if you will,
Begins at 2 AM (? At show ?) media, get a box of Krispy Kreams
and my need to know (? producer ?) as I saw Area 51
contemplating the whole chosen people thing
that we just threw (? flaming stoning ?) and ? split the sky line wide open
never expected to see it at a place like this.
anyway, I thought I was gonna die when something ran up my berkinstocks
and yielded me, holy fuckin shit!!
Than the X-File began looked like some kind of blue-green (? Jackey shit ?) with
(I don't hear Jackie Chan here^)
Isabella Roselini lips and breath that reeked(<-SP) (? chopped ?? global making ?? just another ?? ?) bannana vessel that hovered above my bug eyes, my (acheing/gaping) jaw, and my sweaty (? open upper lip ?)
and all I could think was, I hope uncle quark here doesn't notice I pissed my fuckin pants.
so alive this way, like an apirition that had me cryin out
fuck me, gotta be, dead head, chemistry, oh god what's on top of me? got me sayin (? People are/evil is watching me ?)
And after calming me down with some orange slices and some (? needle 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 for those who choose to hear it,
and a warning for those who do not.
Me? They've chosen one, they chose me, and I didn't graduate from fuckin highschool.
That's my take on it. It's a fuckin awesome song and I'm more than open for critique cause I want this to get solved and be posted just as much as you guys.

'forgot' is sung purely awesomely. pretty much 6:34 on is the best dark vibe tool has put out. i also like "e mother fuckin' t" and "you'd better listen."
I'd also like to add my 2 pennies of lyrical amendments.
"You believe me don't you?
Please believe what I just said
See they don't eat children
and this wasn't all in my head."
it fits, let me know what ya'll think. again, key line in these 2 pennies is "see they don't eat children."
I used to think it was "See the dirty children" but all along i knew it was wrong.
He doesn't say penis.
"and can anyone tell me why it was a repeat experience? Will i ever be coming down?"

These are my thoughts on the song:
Rosetta Stone is the only tubulature that allows us to connect our language with the hieroglyphs from the Egyptians, otherwise we would have absolutely no clue what the symbols mean or what they were trying to communicate. What I think the song is trying to explain is an experience where there is a communication barrier that can't be passed, but there is a very important message that needs to be communicated in the experience, hence:
"Overwhelmed as one would be placed in my position
Such a heavy burden now to be the one
Born to bear and read to 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 "
What I think he is trying to say is that there is another way people need to communicate, not just writing things down or trying to expain something verbally, people need to share experiences as one so we can understand each other. And when you think about it that is what music does, it gives you a certain feeling or outcome without even hearing words neccessarily. And that can be shared by millions. Same goes with Art. Please tell me how im wrong, criticism is the best building block.

well, i held off as long as i could, but i'm posting some consensus version to tdn/Lyrics.
great work, all.
might i recommend that as you continue discussing, you try to not ALL post the ENTIRE song. just post the part you're talking about.
maybe we should make a new thread?

Going through the conensus lyrics, I think "I do believe I spilled a diamond sundae right on my Birkenstocks then yelping 'Holy Fucking Shit!'" is pretty clear, especially if you slow it down to 50%.
Likewise with L. Ron Hubbard, thats clear as day.

My girlfriend thinks it's:
"And can anyone tell me why, with such a keen experience, will I ever be coming down?"
Thoughts?

I dont hear that, I still believe it to be "And can anyone tell me why all the sudden the peanuts dance?" especially with the next line being "will I ever be coming down?" Just seems to match the rest of the absurdity of the lyrics to me. Maynard has one fucked up sense of humor!

Alrighty then
Picture this if you will
10 to 2 AM
and actually heating up an old box of Krispy Kremes
in my need-to-know post outside Area 51 [position]
contemplating the whole chosen people thing [old chosen people, thinking]
when a flaming stealth banana split the sky, like, wide open.
I never expected to see it in a place like this.
Anyway, I remember thinking I’m gonna die
when something lands on my Birkenstocks
[Anyway, I do remember spilling a diet something [soda]
on my Birkenstocks]
[I do believe I spilled a diamond sundae
or something wet on my Birkenstocks]
and then yelping
Holy Fucking Shit
then the x-file beings who were like
some kind of blue-gray Jackie Chan with Isabella Rossellini lips
and breath that reeked up the delicate air and made sound like abanadabanana
[They’re wicked-shot terrorists all by making the sound]
so when I opened up my bug eyes
my gaping jaw and my sweaty L. Ron Hubbard upper lip [lower and upper lip]
and all I could think was
I hope that my partner [Uncle Martin] here doesn't notice
that I pissed my fucking pants
So alive in this way
Like an apparition
you have me crying out
“Fuck me
It's got to be
dead head
Chemistry
The blotter got right on top of me
got me seeing
E mother-fucking T”
And after calming me down with some orange slices
and some meal [fetal] spooning
the 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 chose to hear it
and a warning for those who do not
Me, the chosen one
They chose me
And I didn't graduate from fucking high school
You had better...
You had better...
You had better...
You had better listen
When he looked right through me
with somniferous almond eyes
don't even know what that means
must remember to write it down
This is surreal
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 surreal
like I woke up in Wonderland
all sort of terrifying
I don't want to be all alone
when I tell the story
and can anyone tell me why
It was a repeat experience
will I ever be coming down
This is surreal
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 they're telling truth and [the 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 my bed
Feet cold, eyes red
I'm out my head
Am I alive am I dead
Can't remember what they said
God damn shit the bed
hey hey
Overwhelmed as one would be, placed in my position
Such a heavy burden now to be the one
Born to bear and read to 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 to 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 the brain dead
Can't remember what they said
Oh No [don’t know]
God damn shit the bed

pretty sure it's FETAL SPOONING

Hmm, so how about instead of "when a flaming stealth banana split the sky, like, wide open" you replace "sky, like" with "skyline". I do believe that makes more sense, and fits well.
