The Flaming Lips

The Flaming Lips are an American rock band, formed in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma in 1983. Instrumentally, their sound contains lush, multi-layered, psychedelic rock arrangements, but lyrically their compositions show elements of space rock, including unusual song and album titles—such as "What Is the Light? (An Untested Hypothesis Suggesting That the Chemical [In Our Brains] by Which We Are Able to Experience the Sensation of Being in Love Is the Same Chemical That Caused the "Big Bang" That Was the Birth of the Accelerating Universe)". They are also acclaimed for their elaborate live shows, which feature costumes, balloons, puppets, video projections, complex stage light configurations, giant hands, large amounts of confetti, and frontman Wayne Coyne's signatur… more »

Well it’s a funny thing when your friends are chasing you 
Like you hit one of them in the balls and stuff like that 
Most times they’ll stop chasing you after a while when they can’t catch you 
But cops don’t do that and, and, and I found out the hard way 
But, but they proceeded to tell an old lady to go back inside 
And right when they were fixing to go through the door 
They pulled the drummer down and slammed him on the ground 
Slammed him, slammed him

Needless to say the crowd went a little  crazy 
And so did the cops, they were in a frenzy 
They came in and started macing everybody 
About that time, macing 
Bombing, macing, whatever you need to bug…you the bugs all night, your house 
So he comes through, one cop comes through
Bumps me on the back 
Without even thinking 
In my primal rage stage I was inebriated with alcohol, 
That is it, that is it 
And young, young vitality, vitality 
And I don’t even think, and I grab the cop from behind
And he, and he and I was like what are you doing man? 
And he turns around and proceeds to mace me right in my face 
Not even a foot, away from my face 
So I stop thinking, I just take off running 
I was actually high-stepping, it was like 
My buddy said he saw me, and I was like he saw some 
Long legged creature just like 
He took a base high stepping 
Going down sixth street, stop tinkling 
So I stopped and turned around 

Well it’s a funny thing when your friends are chasing you 
Like you hit one of them in the balls and stuff like that 
Most times they’ll stop chasing you after a while when they can’t catch you 
But cops don’t do that, and, and, and I found out the hard way 
Because they caught me, because they caught me 
Because they caught me, because they caught me 
When he's high-steppin'  I can’t catch that 
Needless to say I turned around 
And they came and caught up with me
And proceeded to take me to the ground 
And taser me, taser me, taser me 
Tasered and maced, uh, pretty good
