Rosseta Stoned
Tool

Alrighty, then ... picture this if you will.

10 to 2 AM, X Yogi DMT

and a box of Krispy Kremes,

in 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, one would hope to expect but never see in a place like this.

Cutting right angle donuts on a dime and stopping

right on my Birkenstocks.

then me yelping Holy fucking shit!

Then the X-Files beings,

who was like some kind of blue-green jackie chan

with Isabella Rossellini lips with breath that reeked of vanilla

chig-champa

(also while making the sound a-banana-da-banana

that's when I opened up.. those lyrics are totally wrong but i can't remember it right now. not going by the track atm) my bug-eyes,

my gaping jaw,

and my sweaty L. Ron Hubbard upper lip,

and all I could think was,

I hope Uncle Marty here doesn't notice

that I pissed my fuckin' pants.

So alive in this way

Like an apparition,

He had me crying out,

Fuck me

It's gotta be

Deadhead

Chemistry

The Blotter got on top of me

Got me seein' E-motherfuckin'-T!

And after calming me down

with some orange slices

and some fetal spooning,

E.T. 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 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 somniferous almond eyes

Don't even know what that means

Must remember to write it down

This is so real

Like the time Dave floated away

See, my heart is pounding

'Cause this shit never happens to me

I can't breathe right now!

It was 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

Ya'll sound like Peanut's parents.

Will I ever be coming down?

This is so real

Finally, it's my lucky day

See, my heart 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 the Dead ain't touring.

And this wasn't all in my head.

See, they took me by the hand

And invited me right in.

Then they showed me something

I don't even know where to begin.

Strapped down on my bed

Feet cold, eyes red

I'm out of my head

Am I alive? or am I dead?

Can't remember what they said

God damn, shit the bed

[High] ...

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? Am I dead?

Sunkist and Sudafed

Gyroscopes and infrared

Won't help, I'm brain dead

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!
