Merry Go Bye Bye Lyrics

They're shining searchlights in the sky
'Cause there's a new God in the sign
It says their map is not their terrier work
And then I broke my telescope
But that's the nature of the game
And you have to play

Bring back the pain of a god that's never blue
You're in control of the whole damned universe
Bring back the shame and the bright lights on a few
It keeps me coming back to you

The deaths were faked, the laughs were cries
But resurrections are doing fine
You got me walking into suicide
And I'll be there right by your side
A reproduction of your merry go bye bye

Here to paradise they go
Brighter made is their woe
As above, so below

We reached for an outside point of view
But its out of touch with me and you
I feel I'm walking into suicide
But you'll be right there by my side
To beam my message into space as I die

Bring back the shame of a man that follows through
Get on your knees 'cause I'll be coming back to you
Bring back the pain of an inverse world for two
It keeps me coming back to you

interesting interview, i cant tell if he's a genius or a crackpot, probably somewhere in between as most of the best musicians are (frank zappa, sun ra)

One thing is for certain though, he was the creative force behind bungle, not mike patton. the way he talks, it has bungle written all over it.

"Bring back the shame and the bright lights on a few," Is actually; "bring back the fame..." and "In reproduction at your merry go bye bye," is really; "A reproduction of your..."

This song has nothing to do with NASA whatsoever- i am disappointed in how many comments are just "This song is the best!" I want to read some interesting interpretations for this ridiculous song.

I believe this song is about using death as a tool of persuasion like all the martyrs throughout history that have the same exact history as Jesus and were equally important to other early religions because all organized religion is an imitation of sun worship and astrology.

Well, you believe that than that means you also believe that organized religion is a conspiracy for control of the masses to keep people from understanding that god is just another word for the experience of sameness of everything.

Here to paradise they go Brighter made is their woe As above, so below ^This is duality like yin-yang black white whatever. Duality is a prevalent dichotomy in our understanding of reality which boils down to every single thing in our every day life. But you must understand that the on and off,1-2,black white, everything nothing, is not in conflict with itself and that on=off and 1=2 and so on, they are actually exactly the same while being the opposite.

Like a reflection in a mirror exactly the same but the opposite.

Which is interesting in this case since of course duality applies to life/death by the same rules which ends up being like a crazy cosmos reincarnation cycle of everything same insaneness

This might totally screw up everything but "as above, so below" is part of a chant from a wiccan ritual, that may or may not be true but dont dismiss it.
