Oh, AZTLAN blues
And reds and greens and golds
I hope that I die
When I'm 100 years old
I was making love
To my sister from another life
I was stitching seams of my OPEN dreams
With a needle from a camel's eye
I was returning my SALUTE
To the LIEUTENANT paper bag
And my best friend, Farmer Dave
Lit me up so I could take a drag
My sister's formed with flame
Threw his shirt into the fire
An ancient child prodigy
A genius who inspirED
Very very cool song. I read somewhere that John said this song is about an actual night where a bunch of people on the tour took Psychedelics and a lot of imagery in the song was inspired by that.. He said that someone actually threw their shirt into the fire. Very cool imagery here, I guess that is where all these Aztec inspired colors and "Paper Bag Lieutenants" and "Imaginary vampire bats" come from. Also, for those who don't know a lot about who J and J tour with, "Farmer Dave" Scher is a good friend and band member who tours with Jenny (and John tours with her so there are connections there) John said that night everything turned all cartoon-y and slow moving, so this song i'd like to think mirrors that with its repetitiveness as well as the imagery.
