Soul Coughing

Soul Coughing was an American alternative rock band. Based in New York City, the band found modest mainstream success during the mid-to-late 1990s. Soul Coughing developed a devout fanbase and have garnered largely positive response from critics. Steve Huey in Allmusic describes the band as "one of the most unusual cult bands of the 1990s ... driven by frontman Mike Doughty's stream-of-consciousness poetry, Soul Coughing's sound was a willfully idiosyncratic mix of improvisational jazz grooves, oddball samples, hip-hop, electronics, and noisy experimentalism (described by Doughty as 'deep slacker jazz')." more »

Whose song is that remembered
At random serpentine
Through phatic coils emerging
Some other thought it's thinking
This light sounds above the houses on the ground
This illumination visited upon the whole land 

Unmarked helicopters, hovering
The lord is coming soon 

Here comes the super-copter
here comes the noise it makes
The demon was an idea
The demon is awake
The scratch mark left across the surface of your mind
This hour now upon us
The hour has now arrived 

Unmarked helicopters, hovering
The lord is coming soon
Unmarked helicopters, hovering
They said it was a weather balloon 

I know truth
I know the whole shebang
I know the names of men they had to hang
I let her out of the trunk
I heard what she said at them
They've come to drag her through the double-M 

It goes black, black, black, black, blacker
It goes black, black, black, black, blacker
It goes black, black, black, black, blacker
It goes black, black, black, black, blacker
 
Unmarked helicopters, hovering
The lord is coming soon
Unmarked helicopters, hovering
They said it was a weather balloon
It was a weather balloon
It was a weather balloon
It was a weather balloon
It was a weather balloon
