Telepathic Surgery

The Flaming Lips Telepathic Surgery Lyrics
1.Hari-Krishna Stomp Wagon (Fuck Led Zeppelin)

I got this can of gasoline, you know what I mean
I got it just for burnin' and it keeps the sirens turnin'
Turning down existence it seems to burn all by itself

I wish that something would happen just so I'd get a reaction
From all these bucks I'm earnin', it keeps the sirens turnin'
Turnin' down existence it seems to burn all by itself
And we don't care

So I just keep on smiling while all the bad compiling
My teeth are white and burning, it keeps the sirens turnin'


2.Fryin' Up

All right!

Turn around in the perfect day
Without my babies I could get nowhere
I run a long time, people stare
I'll get the bus and my legs will tear

Frying up on Easter Sunday
Blowing off everything on Monday

Well everything was half past noon
All the tussle, baby, on your boots
I want to move you but I just don't care
Get to pushing on an electric chair

Frying up on Easter Sunday
Blowing off everything on Monday

Take it!

I keep on running, yes, it's such a thrill
I feel like heaven when I touch your hair
I'm in your arms and in your stare
Get to pushing on an electric chair

Frying up on Easter Sunday
Blowing off everything on Monday

Frying up on Easter Sunday
Frying up on Easter Sunday


3.The Spontaneous Combustion Of John

Lyricist:Wayne Coyne, Richard English, Michael Ivins

It's such a shame, Johnny smokes
And his eyes are full of fire like the first time
Captain Marvel zapped him right between the eyes


4.Shaved Gorilla

Lyricist:Wayne Coyne, Richard English, Michael Ivins

We got a gorilla
And we shaved him
And bought him a motorcycle

I swear if God only let us
We would change it
We don't care that much now

God only let us
We would change it


5.The Last Drop Of Morning Dew

Lyricist:Wayne Coyne, Richard English, Michael Ivins

I think the state of mind that I'm in
We should drop it right now, right now

Well, you've got yourself to blame
If you need those sunny days
And all those plans that I made
They're all changed by the end of the day

'Cause God fucked up when he made us
'Cause he made us so we could hate us
And the world could end in a second


6.Chrome Plated Suicide

Lyricist:Wayne Coyne, Richard English, Michael Ivins

If all my dreams were a tidal wave
And every day was Christmas
We could spend our lives in the drip
At the edge of the world

'Cause love is something that you can't see
It's like telepathic surgery
And it cuts and scrapes
Just like Iggy Pop thrown in a hole

If you take away my nerves
And leave just my words
Love would be the best thing
In the world

You and me in a chrome reflection
We were born to suffer some
Please don't chase me from this jail
You know it looks so nice

If all my dreams were a microwave
And every day was summer
When I feel this way
You know we should start our own religion

If you take away my nerves
And leave just my words
Love would be the best thing
In the world

And if you take away my pain
Please don't leave my brain
'Cause when I think
It hurts just the same

And if you take away my pain
Please don't leave my brain
'Cause when I think
It hurts just the same


7.Redneck School Of Technology

Lyricist:Wayne Coyne, Richard English, Michael Ivins

I'm draggin' everybody down
But being healthy's just
A big drag anyway

I'm startin' to reconsider things
I'm gonna live like a trucker
Without his uppers every day

Me and mom sit and talk all night
About peace and love and politics
And the millionaires we'll be someday

My momma told me something once
She told me something
I forget what it was

Ronny Van Zandt's ghost lives inside of me
But he just sits there
I don't know what he does


I'm leaving everything behind
Except my mind and my valentine
If I got time

Gonna drive to some redneck town
Where they hold class
On the middle of the night

If my school had burned to the ground
I would've gotten smarter sooner
And you know that's right, you know that's right


8.Michael, Time To Wake Up

Lyricist:Wayne Coyne, Richard English, Michael Ivins

Michael, time to get up


9.Drug Machine In Heaven

Lyricist:Wayne Coyne, Richard English, Michael Ivins

Every time that we fly together
Our plane blows up in the sky
We're workin' in an explosives factory
'Cause we don't care if we die

Everything, everything
Everything that I wish
Give us a twentieth century Jesus guy
He could make us rich

You've known me for a million years
I've been chewed up by all your gears
I don't wanna be no one else
I like it here 'cause I like hell


10.Begs And Achin'

Lyricist:Coyne Wayne Micheal, English Richard Rowland, Michael Lee
Ivins

I see you flyin' in your UFO all the time
Crash and burnin' in my backyard
But it's begs and achin' all the time

I see you ridin' on your brainwaves
Surfin' in a dream, I wish you'd save those dreams for me
But it's begs and achin' all the time

I see you flyin' in your UFO all the time
I don't remember what day it was
But it's begs and achin' all the time


11.Right Now

Lyricist:Wayne Coyne, Richard Rowland English, Michael Lee Ivins

The daylight rips at my naked thoughts
A hundred miles an hour but I'm still lost right now
We think we know just who we are
But sometimes I think we've gone too far

Right now, right now

In my head all my engines die
It's scraping pieces out of the sky right now
Once I thought I had figured it out
In dream I knew what it was all about

Right now, right now
Right now

My life and times are lyin' on the floor
I ain't never walkin' through there no more
And I'm walking down this highway
I don't know the year, I don't know the day

The daylight rips at my naked thoughts
A hundred miles an hour but I'm still lost
We think we know just who we are
But sometimes I think we've gone too far

Right now, right now
Right now, right now
Right now


12.Miracle On 42nd Street

I know a bundle of humanity
She's about so high
I'm nearly driven to instantly
When she passes by

She's a sunny little honey
But, oh, so hard to kiss
I'll try to over come her vanity
And then I'll tell her this

I'm young and healthy
And you've got charms
It would be a sin
Not to have you in my arms

I'm young and healthy
And so are you
When the moon is in the sky
Tell me what I am to do?

The daylight rips at my naked thoughts
A hundred miles an hour
But i'm still lost right now
We think we know just who we are
But sometimes i think we've gone too far

Right now ... right now

In my head all my engines die
And it's scraping pieces out of the sky right now
Once i thought i had figured it out
In dream i knew what it was all about

My life and times are lyin' on the floor
I ain't never walkin' through there no more
