the genius that was the eraserheads

Scorpio Rising
Album: Aloha Milkyway

I'm old enough to know
That my stars just won't let go
At this day and age I can see
That the world was meant for me

Some people laugh at what you're doing
They hold you in the sand
I'm having a hard time
Adjusting to these changes

I can see that you lips are moving
But I can't hear what you're saying


Is it yes, or is it no?
It is stop, or is it go?
Is it suck, or is it throw?
Oh is it me or am I just to slow?

I'm young enough to think
That the world looks good in pink
But as far as I can see
That ain't enough for me

Some people hear what you're doing
They pull you by the strings
I'm having trouble
Taking change day by day

When I see you I see red and green
You're like the biggest tree I've ever seen
But it cuts you down
Oh down to size
The apple of my eye
Is rotting underground

I see the future burning in their eyes
But I don't care what it's saying

Is it high or is it low?
Is it hide or is it show?
Is it shrink or is it grow?
Is it the twister ahe he he he hey!

I wrote this song while I was eating beans
Now don't you try and ask me what that means
It's just like asking me to tell you my dreams
I would have told you long ago but now it seems
You're far away
Here come the loony bin
Come to take me away
You put a scar in my twisted face
In the yearbook I look out of place
I see my letter burning in you hand
It took me 25 years just to understand
Blue is the color of my skin
Blue is the color of my skin
Blue is the color of my...woh!


Saturn Return
For the land
Land of the sun, sun, sun
All the lawyers pray to God
Airconditon my brain
There's a note in my ear that I can't sustain
Drain all my fear oh dear
Trapped inside an aeroplane
Sittin' on the aisle as you snooze
Excuse me sir coffee, tea, or juice
All I want right now is sleep
Please, o, please let me count my sheep
Swimming in my headphone dream, beam
The soundtrack propels me to the extreme
Unconscious tricked me like a lawyer
Save some wine sublime and a prayer
Destination unknown
Invasion like a nervous election
Orbiting a 24-track
Waiting for saturn to come back
In a hostile takeover bid
For the life
Life in the sea, sea, sea
All the lawyers pray to God
Connect me to a scanner
Who's in-charge of the sci-fi nightmare
Tomato 1 callin' starship crew
Ground patrol tomato 2
Bouncin' on a cellulite doorbell
Another planet, another hotel, oh well
Snack food shooting marathon
Hypnotized by your own playstation
I'm a toy
With a dream to redeem
Try to change some rules in the mainstream
Mayday, Mayday
Outta control rocket
I think we just hit a nasty air pocket
I'm getting dizzy like a drunken bee
Buzzin' around in the galaxy
Nevertheless guess who's cruisin' here
When saturn flies by
In a hostile takeover bid
For the clouds
Clouds in the sky, sky, sky
All the lawyers pray to God
In a hostile takeover bid
For the mind
Mind of the child, child, child
All the lawyers pray to God
