You believe me, don't you?
Please believe what I just said!
*Say*they're telling children
And this wasn't all in my head.

In lyrics section it says "See them/they're telling children"
I think he wants us to "Say they're telling children"
"And this wasn't all in my head"

narrator of Rosetta wants to know that children go to bed at night hearing scary stories about x-files beings with Isabella Rosellini lips - that the experience was real, not imagined.... I think

i don't hear the "tel" in "telling" at all in the live version. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOOM2...setta%20stoned.

please figure it out. i feel like he's making reference to something i just haven't heard before of because i have listened over and over and still don't get it. like that's peanut's parents thing. never would have figured that out cause i never watched charlie brown.

just listened to it several times - changing my story - sounds like "see they're telling children" - just can't figure what else it could be when put in context with the following line, "and this wasn't all in my head"

i don't think "see they're telling children" even makes sense. the abductee/narrator/person on acid is obviously adult, there is no mention of children anywhere else, and it just doesn't make sense to me -- see they're telling children what? the rest of the song tells a story and this line doesn't seem to fit in it.
