Eyeballs float in wet green grass
I got a chainsaw motor that's filled with rain, proof
When it sings like bach with eyes all bulging
When the pink sun drops the eyelids fold
While I'm in deep REM sleep or twilight zones
I take a freight elevator and press fast forward
I get to grind these teeth and beat through time
If I could bring things back they'd be that WILD

When I saw the future the Geeks were right

Egghead boys with thin white legs
They got modified features with software brains
But that's what the girls like, the geeks were right

When I saw the future the Geeks were right

Predator skills, chemical wars, plastic islands at sea
Watch what the humans ruin with machines

Eyeballs float in wet green grass
I'm in a chainsaw choir and dreams
That bend that let me cut through time and stretch out bach
I make the dry eyes roll and wet eyes cross
While I'm in deep REM sleep or twilight zones
I take the freight elevator and press fast forward
So I can grind these teeth and beat through time
If I could bring things back they'd be that wild

When I saw the future the Geeks were right

    I think the first chorus is the future we think we'll have or should have with one guy using a chainsaw that runs on rain and is more pleasant to listen to (Bach) than a loud gas powered one. It is also partially solar powered because its eyes shut when the pink sun drops (a sun that looks different because of mankinds past mistakes.) The second alternate chorus is a team of woodcutters and loud chainsaws (choir) and can stretch out bach (the sounds of the saw are stretched because its louder, deeper, and interupted by the saws violent vibtations thus making its notes deeper.) Dry eyes roll and wet eyes cross are older people being fed up with these technological advances because its ruining the planet but younger people are amazed and bewildered with what people say the future will be like. (as you age your eyes get dryer.)

    Its pretty much like this First chorus theres a guy whos cutting a tree with an eco friendly chainsaw who looks to the future and learns the geeks were right

    Second chorus is alot of woodsman cutting trees with gas powered chainsaws.He looks to the future to find the geeks were right.

    Geeks being scientists and all, they either predict a future of shite or a future of awesome stuff. The wasteful will be forced to rely on more conservative means of power until the earth repairs. But when it does it will be abused with technological advances ( cool future.) Then, when these advances are too much for the world to bear they have to go back to preservation. Our current world starts in the second, more wasteful stage. We are currently becoming more Eco friendly every day. Sadly this will go on until were all dead.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,
