Oh My Gawd!!!...the Flaming Lips

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

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

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

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

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

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
