I cannot beleive people are still discussing this. Its a Y people, what differance does it make. Its just like at the end of Boondock Saints. You can hear four gunshots from the court room, only three guns, I've gone back and forth on this with my friends who think theres only three shots. Long story short, it doesnt matter. If you listen to the live shows its clearly alrighty, but I still hear alright on the cd. as for how you could hear any thign other then E Mother fucking T, I dont see how it could be any thing else.

Did you notice how you can also hear a repititious "fuck you, fuck you, fuck you. . ."? If I shift the way I am percieving the lyrics I can hear both "fuck you" and "holy fucking shit" at different focal poiints. Am I crazy?- .wait! Pleasedon'tanswerthat.

I think i figured what he says mainly, so heres my take on the lyrics:

Alrighty then, Picture this if you will

Granted, 2 AM, and actually eating an emptied out box of Krispy Kremes
at my need-to-know post just outside Area 51,
contemplating the whole
"chosen people thankin' me" just then a flaming, stealth banana split
the sky, like, wide open, I never expected to see it in a place like
this.
I did radical donuts on a dime in something right on my Birkenstocks,
then yelping, "holy fucking shit!"

Then the X-Files angle led to some kind of blue-green jackie shit
with Isabella Rossellini lips with breath that reeked
and when she chomped into the Soma making the sound
HA-da-da bah-DA-da-da bah-NA-na-da-what-hap-pened-to-my-bug-eyes,
my gaping jaw,
and my sweaty L. Ron Hubbard upper lip,
and all I could think was,
"I hope my Partner doesn't notice that I pissed my fuckin' pants."

So light... his way... like an APPARITION,
will you help me crying out,
FUCK ME! IT'S GOTTA BE!
DEAD HEAD! CHEMISTRY!
The blotter got right up on top of me!
It's got me seeing E motherfucking T!

After calming me down with some orange slices
and some 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 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 had better
you had better
you had better
you had better listen

then he looked life 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

Can't Breathe right now

it was so real
like i woke up in wonderland
a sort a bit terrifying
i don't want to be all alone
when i tell this story
and can anyone tell me why,
all of sudden it peed in its pants?
will i ever be coming down
this is so real, finally its my lucky day
see my heart is racing
cause this shit never happens to me

Can't breathe 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 up by the hand
then they invited me right in
then they showed me something
i don't even know where to begin

Strapped down to my bed
feet cold and eyes red
and i'm out of my head
am i alive or am i dead?
can't remember what they said
God Damn Shit the bed

Heeeey...Hiiigh...igh.iiiiiigh...high..igh.iiiiigh ...hiiiiigh..hiiiigh....
(its hard to hear exactly what he's but this is what i hear)
leave me alone
high here all alone
i am, wanna, leave here
i am all alone

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 or am i dead?
sunkist and sudaffed
gyroscopes and infrared
won't help the brain dead
can't remember what they said
God Damn Shit the bed

and Iiiiiiiii cant remember what they said to me
i can't remember what they said to make me out to be a hero
can't remember what he said
But help me....can't remember what it said

Don't know, won't know (x12)

God Damn Shit the bed

These guys really want to get an honest message across, as catharsis, to the absolute jaded/bullshit world we live in. (even though in many ways, it's a beautiful place).

Thanks.

Now, where did that pickle go?

this is fucked up! Sometimes when I am listening to this song, I hear it in different ways. Like the line about "I hope _____ doesn't notice I pissed my fucking pants", I hear on various occasions 'Uncle Martin', then sometimes 'Uncle Quark' and then sometimes I hear 'My Partner'. Fucks with my brain!

I know what you mean. I have no opinion in the debate on "all right then" vs. "alrighty then" for precisely this reason: I hear one or the other seeming to alternate on each listen just to mess with me.

It seems to me that "dropping a diamond sundae right in my birksenstocks" is a colorful way of saying "I think I shit myself right then and there!" As for the diamond part, I'm picturing the shape you get from one of the soft-serve ice cream vendors you use at the dessert bar at one of those buffets like Quincy's or Barnhills. You know, you pull the handle and a long brown line of soft-serve ice cream comes out into your dish. It's sort of star-shaped or diamond-shaped.

Either that, or he's saying he spilled a diet something on his pants.

Could it possibly be

"Gyroscopes in infrared" ?

Makes a relavence to closed eye visuals of spinning colorful patterns during an acid trip. Otherwise I don't quite draw the meaning of "gyroscopes and infrared"

Perhaps "my sweaty L. Ron Hubbard upper lip" is a reference as to when one gets extremely nervous from either lying or being scared, one's upper lip may sweat profusely.
Just a thought.
It's already been explained, there are several refences around to a 'sweaty L Ron Hubbard upper lip' being the sneer that high up followers carry around with them...

Here's what I'm hearing through this song:

Alrighty then... Picture this if you will.

Began at 2am
Actually eating me up a box of Krispy Kremes
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, woah, wide open
Never expected to see it in a place like this.
I do believe I put 'n' spilled a diamond sundae right on my Birkenstocks
Then he yelled at me, "Holy fucking shit!"

("Fuck you!" x7)

Then the X-Files being
who looked like some kind of blue-green Jacki Chan
With Issabella Rossillini lips and breath that reeked
did a wicked jump there also while making the sound a-banana-da-banana
And that's when 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 fuckin' pants."

So alive this way.
Like an apparition,
He had me cryin' out,
"Fuck me!
It's gotta be
Deadhead
Chemistry!
The bottom 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 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 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 somniforous 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? It is pounding
'Cause this shit never happens to me

I can't breathe right now!

This is so real
Like I woke up in Wonderland
All sorta 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? It 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, ET took ahold of my hand
And invited me right in
And they showed me something
I don't even know where to begin.

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

Hey, hey...
High...

Overwhelmed as one would be
Placed in my position
Such a heavy burden out 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 'n' eyes red
I'm out of my head
Am I alive, am I dead?
Sunkist 'n' Sudafed
Gyrascopes 'n' infrared
Won't help, braindead
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 he said
God help me
Can't remember what he said

Don't know, won't know (x12)

God damn, shit the bed!
