Lyrics

(Random guitar noodling)

(Jian speaking)
I'm gonna go and see where we're at..

(Murray says something non-understandable)
Yeah...???

(Can hear studio workers in the background
Even after the song begins)

(Dave, w/ jian)
1...2...3...Uhh...ehh...uhhh...ssss

(Instrumental intro, murray says something like "oh baby" or "ready")

(Dave)
He doesn't care if you're punctual
No reward for an early bird

(Jian)
Ho!

(Mike whistles like a bird)

(Dave)
And he don't care if you're dysfunctional
We've only recently heard that word

And the infamous nictotine user
I think he doesn't really care about that

(Murray)
No

(Dave)
The butcher, the baker, the boozer
It doesn't matter if you're skinny or fat

(All)
But, look at the clouds, look at the earthquakes
Look at the moon that the light of the sun makes
Look at the wind..
(Dave)
Woo! how it's loose and free..
(All)
Look at these tiny things botherin' me

(Dave)
I've been watching for seven straight hours
(Others, in the background)
There hasn't been a damn thing on!
(Dave)
And there hasn't been a damn thing on
And I feel like I'm losin' my powers
(Mike)
Uhh-huh-ho..
(Dave, w/ jian in the background saying "hey, hey, hey...")
All my get up and go has all gone

(Dave) (others in the background)
And I lied to my local panhandler I told a big fat lie to the pan-man
Said I couldn't have the change
Start off straight but I get to meander
I got the aim but I don't have the range
(Others)
Woah..

(All, w/ voices in the background even louder)
Look at the clouds, yeees, look at the earthquakes
Look at the moon that the light of the sun makes
Uh, look at the wind..
(Dave) (others)
How it's loose and free... fa-du-da-du-da, fa-du-da-du-da
(All)
Look at these tiny things botherin' me

(Voices in background still audible, random scat solos follow)

(Dave, w/ others, do scat trumpet-like singing)

(Dave)
Woooooahhhhh........

(All)
Well, the future looks like distant thunder
(Dave)
Well, because
(All)
I'm never sure that I'll get paid
And I'm pissed that I'm not gettin' younger
Gettin' pretty, gettin' love, gettin' laid
And on the talk show, cat fight, playoff
Well, everybody gives 'em a hand
And the radio sounds like a payoff
I just don't understand

(All, w/ voices in the background even louder)
Look at the clouds, look at the earthquakes (shhhhh...)
Look at the moon that the light of the sun makes
(Dave)
Hey!
(All)
Uh, look at the wind..
(Dave) (others)
Wooo!, how it's loose and free... fa-du-da-du-da, fa-du-da-du-da
(All)
Look at these tiny things botherin' me
Look at these tiny things botherin' me
