Full Lyrics from No Mind Left Unblown by Air Lift Underground
Codified bridge from beat to hippie
A rudderless vessel of psychedelic discovery
Unclean machine of perpetual perversity
Transiting between altered states and cities
Fueled by sweaty adrenaline
And wanderlusty audacity
Skin blistering with palpitating authenticity
Oozing sexuality and howling holy obscenities
Under an umbrella of numinous luminosity
Codified bridge from beat to hippie
A rudderless vessel of psychedelic discovery
Unclean machine of perpetual perversity
Transiting between altered states and cities
Fueled by sweaty adrenaline
And wanderlusty audacity
Skin blistering with palpitating authenticity
Oozing sexuality and howling holy obscenities
Under an umbrella of numinous luminosity
Hollywood’s gone awful green these days
If you listen to all the stars
Well, they sure are busy recycling scripts
While blowing up all those cars
Betty never shirked a day of work
She was the picture of the perfect clerk
She knew at the Bureau that mum’s the word
No matter what secrets might be overheard
She never typed off-key or misplaced her smile
Misspelled a memo or lost a file
I went to see the guru
To score some destiny
Just enough to tide me through
‘Til I could fix my color TV
I had this thought inside my head
What would happen if I said:
I had this thought inside my head
And I wondered what would happen if I said
Going down to the velvet valley
Where syrup streams come to swell
Going down to tickle my fancy
And to tickle yours as well
There’s more here than meets the ear
More than anyone understands
Like an old story told fourth hand
The only constant is conversion
Everyone hears a different version
Pass it on, pass a ton
Past a one, past we won
If you want to live forever, you’ve got to talk real slow…If you want to live forever, you’ve got to never finish a thought. Never finish a thought.
If you talk slow enough, then the thought that you’re talking about catches up with the thought you were thinking, about the thought you are having, about how if you want to live forever, you’ve got talk real slow, if you want to live forever…
Caught this hotfoot surfing volcanoes
But only when the lava tide’s low
Touring Texarkana via tornado
Pursuing rumors of ice-blue buffalo
Hitched a northbound balloon and damn near froze
Selling kilos of snow to the Eskimos
Courting the worst-case scenario
With a chain-gang of leprechauns in tow
Oh, you have to know this ain’t my first rodeo
High mojo in the whole
Heavy spells getting sprung
From the bottom of my soul
To the tip of my tongue
You’d never guess it from their tattered jackets
Four shadows sharing the glare
How they rode skyward chariots
And vaulted the moon on a dare
Well, I tell you, it was a sordid affair
How the clown confronted the crown
And both of their heads came tumbling down
