Gemstones Lyrics
Gemstones cracking, 'cause we're just too strong
Drum-sized yearning, 'cause the pressures gone
Supervised love, crusified stuff
Simmering red in the sex farm clubs
There's an exit to this desert dangling freely
From the shingles in the snow
She's a show off, Xanex Zoloft
Blank faced footprints of the zebras in the glen
Cavemen humping in the sterling space pod
Drumstick pumpkin in the Starbucks courtyard
Gigolos dance, stepping on toes
Benedryl nights in the OK holes
There's an exit to this desert dangling freely
From the shingles in the snow
She's a show off, Xanex Zoloft
Blank faced footprints of the zebras in the glen
Let's break into the labyrinth of lies
Let's dive off the end of his eyes
Hollywood hills, peppermint pills
I can still taste the grime that you stuffed in my gills
Oh Johnny, can't you set a place for Holly?
She's a wild one, she'll be staying for a spell
Till they find her, and they drag her down to
Barcelona! Down to Barcelona!
I'm a very funny boy but I know not to say "cha cha cha"
Dunking donuts, give me dunking donuts
She's a very funny girl but I love that crazy bitch allright!
Drum-sized yearning, 'cause the pressures gone
Supervised love, crusified stuff
Simmering red in the sex farm clubs
From the shingles in the snow
She's a show off, Xanex Zoloft
Blank faced footprints of the zebras in the glen
Drumstick pumpkin in the Starbucks courtyard
Gigolos dance, stepping on toes
Benedryl nights in the OK holes
From the shingles in the snow
She's a show off, Xanex Zoloft
Blank faced footprints of the zebras in the glen
Let's dive off the end of his eyes
Hollywood hills, peppermint pills
I can still taste the grime that you stuffed in my gills
She's a wild one, she'll be staying for a spell
Till they find her, and they drag her down to
Barcelona! Down to Barcelona!
Dunking donuts, give me dunking donuts
She's a very funny girl but I love that crazy bitch allright!

this was the first song i heard by adam green as a solo artist. i loved him in the moldy peaches, and his new stuff is wayyy out there. i think physchedelics were definitely involved in the songwriting process, or maybe just green's way of life shining through his music. pharmeseuitical drug use is mentioned she's a show off, Xanax Zoloft
gotta love the surrealism of the lyrics
Some of these words are wrong:
"Supervised love, crucified stubs." "Bling-faced footprints..." "Young Sid Pumpkin in the Starbucks courtyard." "Benadryl nights in the old K-holes." "I'm a very funny boy but I know what I just said, Chk Chk Chk."
As with lots of his stuff, particularly off this album, it's about the NYC nightlife I think. There's more than a few drugs references: the aforementioned Xanax Zoloft, as well as a reference to the "K-hole" that users of Special K experience when they trip.
Lots of it is also nonsensical mind. :P
