Palace Of The Brine Lyrics

In a place they say is dead
in the lake that's like an ocean
i count about a billion head
all the time
there's a motion
palace of the brine
i saw the cloning
of the famous family
i heard the droning
in the shrine
of the sea-monkey
palace of the brine
beneath reflections in the fountain
the starry sky and utah mountains
they are swimming happily
can't you see
a life that's so sublime
palace of the brine.

This song is about the Great Salt Lake and probably also refers to the Saltair Resort, aka the Saltair Palace (thus the "Palace of the Brine"). There have been three incarnations of the building, and that might explain the line "I saw the cloning, of the famous family". And of course "In the shrine of the sea monkey" refers to the brine shrimp that live in the lake.

The brine shrimp of Utah are forever indebted to Mr. Francis.

In Utah there is a lake called Great Salt Lake, which is apparently full of brine shrimp. Last year 25,729,490 pounds of brine shrimp were harvested from the lake.

I guess the lake is 'dead' because it's so salty, it's like an ocean because it's salty and huge.

Of course anyone who has owned Sea Monkeys will understand that Brine Shrimp are worthy of such a great song. Black Francis seems to envy their life swimming around mindlessly...

I think this song is about the mormons. Cloning and droning in their shrines, in a happily dead place called Utah.
