Lyrics
Nobody knows my true identity For all we know, I'm John F. Kennedy's Love child with Nosferatu We can't know but still we got to Nobody knows how deep this mystery goes But ancient caveman history shows We're all descended from The same evil alien slime And it's a pretty shade of grey It makes the woodwork eat away Glass breaks and cow's milk curdles It glows in the dark and it mutates turtles Somebody told me something interesting They told me the world is always tempesting 'Round and around again I've had enough of that pseudo-zen Somebody else was watching from afar Screwing it up like a broken VCR She thought that I was Very insincere because... I rolled my eyes a bit too much Am I really that out of touch? Why should I care about this? I'm not concerned with the things I miss I don't see the point in not believing in Things you can taste like fear and cinnamon Sadly this hasn't gotten me Anything but dread and gluttony Under the ground is where I wanna go Surely there is a way but I dunno How to get there No one seems to know actually, so I tried to use a garden spade But it was very poorly made *Bang* It broke into so many pieces It's times like these that I wish I had... Telekinesis Telekinesis Telekinesis Telekinesis Telekinesis Telekinesis Telekinesis Telekinesis Telekinesis
Trivia
- The word “pseudo” is mispronounced in the version released on Hip To The Javabean. Although this was unintentional and Neil has endured many attempts to correct himself, the mistake seems to have become part of the song, as he still pronounces it that way when he performs Telekinesis live, such as at Lemonic Demonade.
- When Neil sings the phrase “and it mutates turtles” he is most likely referring to the “teenage mutant ninja turtles”, who were indeed mutated by radioactive slime.
