Baby Missiles Lyrics
I'm on the back of a new belief
And on the back of a new belief
My friend rides all alone
Yeah, he's up and down like a new Jack Tone
He was a part of the new machine
He felt alive in the new machine
My friend dies all alone
Yeah, just up and down like a new Jack Tone
Yeah, you want to talk about going down
Yeah, you'd rather make a young man proud
You should have seen all the rattling in my brain
And in the wake of a northeast bus
I came on my back like a northeast perch
You should have seen all the rattling in my way
Just the sound of a northeast bus coming back here
Because I don't mind when the pioneers go soft on me
It's just the sound of a northeast bus on its back babe
You got your head in the common field
Adjust your hands with the common touch
I was alive on the new machine
He felt alive in the new machine
My friend rides all alone
Yeah he's up and down like a new Jack Tone
He wanna leave but he don't know how
He want to try but he don't know why
He's going to lean on the back of me
Like a slide on the back of b-b-belief
Just the sound of a northeast bus coming back here
Because I don't mind when the pioneers go soft on me
It's just the sound of a northeast bus on its back babe
You got your head in the common field
Adjust your hands with the common touch
And on the back of a new belief
My friend rides all alone
Yeah, he's up and down like a new Jack Tone
He felt alive in the new machine
My friend dies all alone
Yeah, just up and down like a new Jack Tone
Yeah, you'd rather make a young man proud
You should have seen all the rattling in my brain
I came on my back like a northeast perch
You should have seen all the rattling in my way
Because I don't mind when the pioneers go soft on me
It's just the sound of a northeast bus on its back babe
You got your head in the common field
Adjust your hands with the common touch
He felt alive in the new machine
My friend rides all alone
Yeah he's up and down like a new Jack Tone
He want to try but he don't know why
He's going to lean on the back of me
Like a slide on the back of b-b-belief
Because I don't mind when the pioneers go soft on me
It's just the sound of a northeast bus on its back babe
You got your head in the common field
Adjust your hands with the common touch

Baby Missiles:: Is this a travelog on bus to Northeast part of the country and someone dies? Please help-I might be entirely missing the boat. Find the music hypnotic.
I'm thinking some of the lyrics here are wrong, like 'perch' should be 'crutch' a few other things too...I think the song is one of desperation, finding a new way, there's some casualties...the northeast bus comes back, he doesn't mind when the pioneers go soft on him, i.e. there were failed attempts at breaking away, coming of age and finding a place, he/they had to come back, he can't blame them though...it's all a bit vague but I get an overall feeling of desperation, trying to change, trying to discover something new - not sure if 'new...
