Quite a surprise
What an ingenious device.
Boredom encompassesmy time.
I don't know what I should do.
Indulging a moment of your time.
Seldom the breeder of lies.
But you won't believe that it's true.
They take to the skies.
Southbound pachyderm.
Pinholes through cardboard at the sun.
Passing the bucks by one by one, leaving nothing in return.
Watching the majesty blow past.
Speculating which will be the last.
Savoring my piece of pie.
And there is no reprise.
They take to the sky.
Southbound pachyderm.

first off, yes primus has connections with hallucinogenics, no they dont write every song about it. granted they have songs referencing experiences, this is not one.
it has been explained to me that this song is about viewing a solar eclipse, allthough it may just be about elephants, les claypool is a fucked up fellow.
