Hit to Death in the Future

The Flaming Lips Hit to Death in the Future Lyrics
1.Felt Good to Burn

Lyricist:Wayne Coyne, Jonathan Donahue, Michael Ivins

That night at Kim's when that guy ripped us off
We borrowed a gun to get him, we were so pissed off
We shot his leg, he was a dick, anyway

It felt good to burn, felt like a movie star
When you hold my slippery brain
Kiss my forehead

All summer long we refused to die
We just slept and fucked and got high
And all we'd steal, we lit up on the Ferris wheel

Felt good to burn, I felt like a movie star
When you hold my slippery brain
Kiss my forehead

And all your dreams, oh God, rest your soul
I saw through the hole in your head
But we couldn't have been dead 'cause you stood up in bed
And said, 'I wasn't wavin' goodbye, I was sayin' hello'

It felt good to burn, felt like a movie star
When you hold my slippery brain
Kiss my forehead


2.Gingerale Afternoon (The Astrology of a Saturday)

Lyricist:Wayne Coyne, Jonathan Donahue, Michael Ivins

I've seen sunrise the size of my head
It freaks you up like ghouls from the dead
I feel like I'm ready to run through your room
It's gonna be another gingerale afternoon

And I'm feelin' like
I'm leavin' much too soon

Got a pocket full of capsules and some chocolate ice cream
Both make me cool but one makes me dream
I feel like I'm ready to race through your room
It's gonna be another gingerale afternoon

And I'm feelin' like
I'm leavin' much too soon


3.Frogs

Lyricist:Wayne Coyne, Jonathan Donahue, Michael Ivins

There you are
Infected with the water strain
Wash your car
Fish and frogs come screaming down like rain

There you are
Wash your hands and wash your face
Water's gone
It's vaporized and gone to outer space

I'm lookin' at the sky
I'm waitin' on the rain
I'm waitin' for the frogs to fall
Down on me

I'm lookin' at the sky
I'm waitin' on the rain
I'm waitin' for the frogs to fall
Down on me

I'm lookin' at the sky
I'm waitin' on the rain
I'm waitin' for the frogs to fall
Down on me

I'm lookin' at the sky
I'm waitin' on the rain
I'm waitin' for the frogs to fall
Down on me

I'm lookin' at the sky
I'm waitin' on the rain
I'm waitin' for the frogs to fall
Down on me

I'm lookin' at the sky
I'm waitin' on the rain
I'm waitin' for the frogs to fall
Down on me

Down on me
Down on me
Down on me


4.The Sun

Lyricist:Wayne Coyne, Jonathan Donahue, Michael Ivins

And the sun goes over me
And the sun goes over me
And the sun goes over me

And the sun goes over me
And the sun goes over me
And the sun goes over me, yeah

It'd be so kind to see your face in my door
It wouldn't have to last very long
It'd be so kind to see your face in my door
I wouldn't have to ask anymore

And the sun goes over me
It'd be so kind to see your face in my door
It wouldn't have to last very long

It'd be so kind to see your face in my door
'Cause I wouldn't have to ask anymore
And the sun goes over me

And the sun goes over me
It'd be so kind to see your face in my door
It'd be so kind to see your face in my door
It'd be so kind


5.The Magician Vs. the Headache

Lyricist:Wayne Coyne, Jonathan Donahue, Michael Ivins

Sermon's over, but can you feel it now on the ground
No, it never takes you very long, no, it never takes you very
long

Sometimes I come home and there's a monkey
He's puttin' down, he's makin' love to the hole in my head
He's makin' love to the hole in my head

Sermon's over, but can you feel it now on the ground
No, it never takes you very long, no, it never takes you very
long
No, it never takes you very long, no, it never takes you very
long
No, it never takes you very long


6.You Have to Be Joking (Autopsy Of The Devil's Brain)

Lyricist:Wayne Coyne, Jonathan Donahue, Michael Ivins, Michael Kamen

You have to be jokin'
They wouldn't do what you said
Oh, my vision is blurred again

You have to be kiddin' me
They wouldn't do those unspeakable things
Oh, my Jesus
It's worse than You think

Stood here in the mornin'
Got no science to explain
Seems to me that God and the Devil
Both the same

You have to be lyin'
They wouldn't do what you told me about
Oh, my vision is blurred again
Is blurred again


7.Hold Your Head

Lyricist:Wayne Coyne, Jonathan Donahue, Michael Ivins

We didn't come to negotiate
We didn't come so we could wait
We didn't come to change the world
We didn't come to fuck girls

We didn't come to see if, if it's true
We're not like you
Hold your head, now it's over

It's gettin' harder than it used to be
Time was slower than it used to be
We didn't come to imagine this
It's better to feel than to be like this

We didn't come to see if, if it's true
We're not like you
Hold your head, now it's over
Hold your head, now it's over

Hold your head, now it's over
Hold your head, now it's over


8.Talkin' 'Bout the Smiling Deathporn Immortality Blues (Everyone
Wants to Live Forever)

Lyricist:Wayne Coyne, Jonathan Donahue, Michael Ivins

Imagination, that's the way that it seems
Man can't only live in his dreams
Oh, it seems so hard

If I'd lived a thousand times before
And if I'm gonna live anymore
Always brings me down

Everyone wants to live forever
Thinkin' that it'd be a lot better
Everyone wants to live forever, whoa

The feeling in my head starts heading South
It seems it stops the fever from shootin' out of my mouth
Life gushing all around

Everyone wants to live forever
Thinkin' that it'd be a lot better
Everyone wants to live forever, whoa

Everyone wants to live forever
But no one ever gets it together
And everyone wants to live forever, whoa

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa


9.Hit Me Like You Did the First Time

Lyricist:Wayne Coyne, Jonathan Donahue, Michael Ivins

Go, people wanna know
All the pleasures of
I got my favorite place
You know just what to say
Hit me like the first time

All of your friends go there
They're not like me
I got my favorite place
You know just what to say
Kill me like you did the first time

Come on now
Come on now
Come on now
Hit me like the first time

Mount this heavy snow
It's warm like a winter coat
That's my favorite place
'Cause you know just what to say
Kiss me like you did the first time

Come on now
Come on now
Come on now
Come on now

Come on now
Come on now
Come on now
Come on now


10.Halloween on the Barbary Coast

Lyricist:Wayne Coyne, Jonathan Donahue, Michael Ivins

Well, the retards laughed when the evening came
The 'librium makes them all the same
And boy, you still got shit for brains
It's halloween on the coast again

The clowns roll in and the line never ends
We get the last part, we get the bends
And the bends always last till the blast
They sucked us down in the hole again

And it's halloween on the Barbary Coast

Well, the mothers smiled when the morning came
Under the Christmas tree they looked all the same
And boy, you still got shit for brain
It's halloween all over again

And it's halloween on the Barbary Coast
And it's halloween on the Barbary Coast
