Sleeping in the Beetle Bug Lyrics
Sleeping in the beetle bug
With a hundred pounds of air in my heart
Don't think that I'm able to sympathize
I'm happier to see it gone
Floating above your house like a penguin
Dropping cherries from my mouth
Tapping the walnuts
And the shadows out of a dreaming
Pair of brown-eyed ghosts
In each of your eyes, I saw it's spring
Where every mouth wakes up to a smile and a yawn
Grass is long and laughs when the wind jumps through it
It must have started with that stick in the mud
That there's where clouds are born
Clouds can't stay where they are born
Winds push them so far from home
The sound of your laughter
Tiptoeing across the floor
Makes the deepest of red umbrellas
Able to inflate my smile
In each of your eyes, I saw it's spring
Where every mouth wakes up to a smile and a yawn
Grass is long and laughs when the wind jumps through it
With a hundred pounds of air in my heart
Don't think that I'm able to sympathize
I'm happier to see it gone
Floating above your house like a penguin
Dropping cherries from my mouth
Tapping the walnuts
And the shadows out of a dreaming
Pair of brown-eyed ghosts
Where every mouth wakes up to a smile and a yawn
Grass is long and laughs when the wind jumps through it
That there's where clouds are born
Clouds can't stay where they are born
Winds push them so far from home
The sound of your laughter
Tiptoeing across the floor
Makes the deepest of red umbrellas
Able to inflate my smile
Where every mouth wakes up to a smile and a yawn
Grass is long and laughs when the wind jumps through it

ITS SO EASY TO LOVE MYSELF THAT I CAN LIE TO YOU BUT I CANT!
I love this. But what does it mean? Until I find out, I can only enjoy the music.
I have to agree with ggaaoo. I love the music in this song, but I can't really tell what it means.
I love how they have a song for every occasion. Most of the song doesn't make sense, but I can't help but be reminded of the time that my friends and I went to the School of Americas protest in Georgia and were incapable of pitching a tent, so all three of us slept in my beetle bug. Lana slept on the dashboard.
I think it's about sleeping in the beetle bug because the house flooded.
for the longest time this whole song sounded like complete gobbledygook. just looking at it now i randomly thought, maybe it's about him, and possibly someone else, dying? "happier to see it's gone" as in their life..."floating above your house" like a ghost would..."pair of brown eyed ghosts" could be him and whoever he's with, "tapping the shadows out" of them could be their uncertainties from their life or something..."clouds can't stay where they are born, winds push them so far from home" might refer to having to move on to the afterlife. or, i could be completely wrong about all of it.
how about, the lyrics are meaningless, and its an amazing melody. just a theory guys.
