Man Called Aerodynamics Lyrics
A cricket bag you ate from
It's sweet smiling apology acceptance awaits you
Don't be afraid to cherish it
Look it up in the book mobile
Look it up in the gun rack
In the magazine rack
Or the map!
That the cartoon bubble explodes
And the new party begins
Invitation only - still in a senator's suitcase
Let them out and dance for the ant god
Like scary magnets to pounce upon command
Upon the man
The man called aerodynamics
Why do you people keep insisting they're all word collages. If it's a meaningless word collage then you'll know. These are sentences and thoughts. They might be vague and the meaning might be hidden but it's not a "word collage".
I've seen it on the lyrics for Bright Paper Werewolves too and it just irks me.

And this song, is for sure, not a word collage. Every single line is packed with meaning. Even "Find deep within your memory coat a cricket bag you ate from." All you have to do is think about what might eat from a cricket bag and then congratulations you've interpreted a lyric.

I think he's talking about a person high up in a bureaucracy, his life spent between his office, political meetings, the club and parties with other politicians, who is growing disillusioned with his career and his colleagues ("ant god"). He misses being younger and having more time for himself, which allowed him to travel more (eg visiting Asia, where he bought crickets in a bag from a street vendor and ate them). Maybe in reaction to this, he sees in a favorable light the younger, more progressive colleagues who are emerging in the political arena, such as "the man called aerodynamics" whom the people in his party are instructed to "pounce upon".
A word collage.
