My new incentive is a drawing of The Dark Agent, a buddy of mine from here and other forums. you can check that out by voting here. Sally still remains the buzzComix incentive.
I'm still really diggin' the new Tool album. I've already listened to it more than Lateralus, and I bought Lateralus on the day it was released. Right in Two has highly grown on me. It has officially reached awesome status. I do enjoy Rosetta Stoned, especially once someone blabbed about acid/hallucinating and Enochian language and keys and so forth. It's still got really silly lyrics, but they're neat the way the can be connected to things.
Enough overanalysing.
Here's what I think the lyrics to Rosetta Stoned say, since so many of you got here from google searches for them.
Tool - Rosetta Stoned
Alrighty, then ... picture this if you will.
Began at 2 AM, and after eating an entire box of Krispy Kremes, at my need-to-know post just outside Area 51 contemplating the multitudes of people, thinking, when a flaming, stealth banana split the sky, like, wide open. I never expected to see it in a place like this. I do believe I spilled a diet soda or something right on my Birkenstocks. Then I yelled out loud
Holy fucking shit! (Repeated several times)
Then the X-Files beings, who were in some kind of blue-green jet ship with Isabella Rossellini lips with breath that reeked, did a wicked jump there also while making the sound a-banana-da-banana that's when I opened up my bug-eyes, my gaping jaw, and my sweaty lower and upper lip, and all I could think was, "I hope Uncle Martin here doesn't notice that I pissed my fuckin' pants."
So alive in this way, like an apparition, he had me crying out,
"Fuck me
It's gotta be
Deadhead
Chemistry
The bottom got on top of me
Got me seein' E-motherfuckin'-T!"
And after calming me down with some orange slices and some fetal spooning, E.T. revealed to me his singular purpose. He said, "You are the Chosen One, the One who will deliver the message. A message of hope to those who choose to hear it and a warning to those who do not."
Me. The Chosen One? They chose me, and I didn't graduate from fuckin' high school.
You'd better...
You'd better...
You'd better...
You'd better listen.
Then he looked right through me
With somniferous almond eyes
Don't even know what that means
Must remember to write it down
This is so real
Like the time they floated away
See, my heart is pounding
'Cause this shit never happens to me
I can't breathe right now!
It was so real,
Like I woke up in Wonderland.
Also a bit terrifying
I don't wanna be all alone
When I tell this story.
And can anyone tell me why
It was a recent experience
Will I ever be coming down?
This is so real
Finally, it's my lucky day
See, my heart is racing
'Cause this shit never happens to me
I can't breathe right now!
You believe me, don't you?
Please believe what I just said!
See they're telling children
And this wasn't all in my head.
See, they took me by the hand
And invited me right in.
Then they showed me something
I don't even know where to begin.
Strapped down on my bed
Feet cold, eyes red
I'm out of my head
Am I alive? Am I dead?
Can't remember what they said
God damn, shit the bed
High (or Hi) ...
Overwhelmed as one would be, placed in my position.
Such a heavy burden now to be the One
Born to bear and read you all the details of our ending,
To write it down for all the world to see.
But I forgot my pen
Shit the bed again
...Typical.
Strapped down on my bed
Feet cold and eyes red
I'm out of my head
Am I alive? Am I dead?
Sunkist and Sudafed
Gyroscopes and infrared
Won't help, brain dead
Can't remember what they said
God damn, shit the bed
I can't remember what they said to me
Can't remember what they said to make me out to be a hero
Can't remember what they said
Oh help me!
Can't remember what they said
Don't know, won't know (x12)
God damn, shit the bed!
