Green Ranger Lyrics

I took a ride with the Green Ranger
Stepped up and showed me lots of things
It liquefied my eye and sliced me up like pie
Now at night my right ear always rings

I took a ride with the Green Ranger
Things weren't quite what I had thought
The Nevada City fire turn my nostril hairs to wire
That's the night I nearly lost the plot

It electrifies the night
It amplifies the sight
Watch out or you might just lose the plot
Who wants to ride with the Green Ranger?

Who wants to ride with the Green Ranger?

So I've never heard of acid called the green ranger before, but I'm convinced that is what the songs about. The lines about sensorial details, "electrifies the night, and amplifies the sight" definitely convey that meaning. Also, in Frizzle Fry - a song about an acid house at Les' college - there is a line, "Andy's painting green again, this time they might take him away". Seems like he often notes acid with a tad bit of wariness, "Watch out or you might loose the plot". Finally, the "Nevada city fire" certainly seems to indicate Burning Man. And yes, Les is partially deaf in his right ear from a supposed diving accident, possibly on acid, I don't know - that detail has never been mentioned. But yeah, great new tune with a very ambient tone!

Song Meaning

I completely agree with you on this. Perfect explanation. I did not know what he may have meant about Nevada City Fire but I believe you are correct on this as well. I would love to know why he calls it The Green Ranger but maybe it will come out in an interview or during a live show or something ;-)

From a power rangers/acid point of view. The original Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, Green Ranger. He started out as an all powerful bad guy who was familiar to the regular cast. After a while, personal and ranger battles, the green ranger turned to the good side. After a stint with the good side his powers began to fade.

I think MMPR wise that the green ranger is like an acid trip. It's friend and/or foe or both but eventually it begins to fade.

Maybe at the burning man, there was a guy who resembled the MMPR Green ranger or even Jason David Frank.lol I don't know. Dragon Zord!

I'm just guessing its about weed? lol Listening to the song, the atmosphere the music makes, it seems like it's some kinda drug lol.

And I do know that Les' right ear really does ring and he has problems with hearing that side

I've heard it's about the drug Les took during "Over the Electric Grapevine".

Could very well be that, I believe that'd be acid, atleast according to les. I love Grapevine btw, awesome song. And @ moon definitely a chill song i love it
