Those evil natured robots
they're programmed to destroy us
She's gotta be strong to fight them
So she's taking lots of vitamins

Oh, to realize something is ending within us
Feeling yourself disintegrate

and suddenly
everything has changed.



(actually that lyric isn't all that wonderful, it just reminds me of what happens musically in that song)

as for good fl lyrics, ^ is a very good one. or:
Tell everybody
Waitin' for Superman
That they should try to hold on
Best they can
He hasn't dropped them
Forgot them
Or anything
It's just too heavy for Superman to lift

I've heard about a place
Where they enlarge your space
Take pity on the small ones

Don't cost you very much
They seem to know their stuff
Take pity on the small ones

And I wanna go to Brainville let's get in
And overcome my inexperience
I wanna go to Brainville let's get in
And be the first one on my block that does

Let me tell ya a story about a very special gift I received from a, from a man that I didn’t know very well. But he brightened up the night and made it one of the great shining moments of our long tour.

Backstage in Detroit
And the room is full of smoke and apprehension
We'd been playing shows
As the warm-up and the band for Beck Hansen
In walks Jack, says - "How'd ya do?"
Then he handed me this wonderful statue.

And I said, "Thank you Jack White
For the fiber-optic Jesus that you gave me."
It shined so bright
That I couldn't help believin' it would save me.
When I finally got it home
My whole neighborhood was aglow
And I said, "Thank you Jack White
For the fiber-optic Jesus that you gave me."

Jack and Meg are funny
They got a modern backwards-liberal family code
Brother and sister
Playing rock 'n' roll and doing it on the road
I bet that van begin to stink
But then I wonder - oh - what Christ would think.

I said, "Thank you Jack White
For the fiber-optic Jesus that you gave me."
It shined so bright
That I couldn't help believin' it would save me.
And when I finally got it home
My whole neighborhood was aglow
And I said, "Thank you Jack White
For the fiber-optic Jesus that you gave me."

Magnified up close, in a pickle jar
is the last hope the world has... Yeah ... Yeah

Thinkin that his head surely would explode
His thoughts go deeper than ever... yeah... yeah

Something never dreamed in all the science books
the biggest light switch gets turned on yeah.. yeah

And he's on the way to a real first in all the universe yeah.. yeah
He saves the day and the world knows, the sonic boom explodes

Hesitant to tell the real reason, the Nobel Prize is given-Yeah-
It's hard to celebrate with a headache Oh Yeah... Yeah

And he's on the way to the real first in all the universe Yeah... Yeah
And he saves the day and the world knows. Now watch his head explode

With loving hands and their arms are stretched so wide they can’t
Seem to take a breath knowing evil will prevail, and a million people
Seems
Like a lot, and a million people can’t be wrong...

With loving smiles, and their mouths are stretched so wide they can’t
Even
Take a breath, knowing evil will prevail, and the magic bullet is the
Glowing mother ship, and the mother zaps you dead...

With loving hands knowing evil will prevail
Knowing evil will prevail
Knowing that evil will prevail
Knowing evil will prevail
Knowing that evil will always win...

You hate your boss at your job

In your dreams, show no mercy!

There you are
And you drive in your car
And you wish for the stars
And you end up face down in the road
Dead as fuck

I know a girl who thinks of ghosts
She'll make ya breakfast
She'll make ya toast
She don't use butter
She don't use cheese
She don't use jelly
Or any of these
She uses vaseline
Vaseline
Vaseline

I know a guy who goes to shows
When he's at home and he blows his nose
He don't use tissues or his sleeve
He don't use napkins or any of these
He uses magazines
Magazines
Magazines
Magazines
Magazines

I know a girl who reminds me of cher
(reminds me of cher)
She's always changing
(she's always changing)
The color of her hair
(color of her hair)
She don't use nothing
That ya buy at the store
She likes her hair to be real orange
She uses tangerines
Tangerines
Tangerines
Tangerines
Tangerines
Tangerines

Do you realize
That everyone you know someday will die?
And instead of saying all of your good-byes
Let them know you realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

the flaming lips have been around forever, I think since the late or mid 80's. I never really got into them until I heard their most recent album, it's pretty good. Feeling yourself disintegrate is a great song. I think they have a new one set to come out sometime this year.

Do You Realize - that you have the most beautiful face
Do You Realize - we're floating in space -
Do You Realize - that happiness makes you cry
Do You Realize - that everyone you know someday will die

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round




those are beautiful lyrics
