| The Flaming Lips – The Gold in the Mountain of Our Madness Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Can't believe no one ever posted the lyrics to this song, it's beautifully written. About a group of young men who decide to climb up what they thought was a hill with hopes of finding gold at the top, but it turns out this "hill" was actually a very tall mountain. Despite the size of this mountain and the vast amount of time and energy it would take to climb it, they were convinced there was gold at the top. The climb takes years to finish, the climbers apparently wasting their youthful lives to climb this mountain. By the time they reach the top, they are old and drained of their energy from the climb, and never finding the gold they were so sure they would find. At first they pretty much think "Well, what now" and instead of wasting the rest of their lives climbing down, they decide to treasure what they find on the peak, and ultimately dying with their "Gold." Just my interpretation. |

| The Flaming Lips – Riding to Work in the Year 2025 (Your Invisible Now) Lyrics | 18 years ago |

There are a few left out verses. Here are the full lyrics: On some driven ship The morning commuter ride Everything is orange and bright In reflection you can see You're standing paralyzed Your suspended disbelief has lied You're invisible now And I know that it's hard to get used to Cause you're the last secret agent reporting back But you're reporting back to nothing The panoramic scene The landscape's grand design The moment overtakes your life In the silver morning sun The worst is magnified It makes you see the use of Christ |
