This is one of my favourite Clutch songs of all time. The groove/funk of the verses and the heavyness of the chorus just make for a killer song.
On the 'Elephant Riders' enhancement, Neil says that this song originally was a lot longer lyrically, and was about someone who made a wish on a wishbone for their life to be more interesting. Then it started raining black snakes and things (just because there were a lot of black snakes in the band's crappy house at that time). Then the weather cock flew off and came back and told them about the earth...anyway, since all that's been cut out now, the song doesn't make a lot of sense anymore. It's just random.
