This was one of my favorite songs, when I was 13; I finally found a copy of it on itunes (the live version…I’ll have to find a studio version elsewhere)…I always wanted this to be my wedding song…but I’m weird like that…maybe it’s just my subconscious desire to marry David Duchovny (or to work for a para-military organization hell bent on keeping the alien invasion under wraps…it can go either way based on how much coffee I’ve had):
Unmarked Helicopters
by Soul Coughing
Whose song is that remembered?
At random, surpenting
Throught fatty coils, emerging
some other thought it’s thinking
this light
stands 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
scratch mark traced across the
surface of your mind
this hour, now upon us
the hour, now arrived
unmarked helicopters
hovering
the lord is coming soon
unmarked helicopters
hovering
they said it was a weather balloon
but i know the truth
i know the whole shebang
i know the names of men they had to hang
i let her out the trunk
heard what she said at them
they’ve come to drag us through the double M
it goes black black black black and blacker
it goes black black black black and blacker
it goes black black black black and blacker
it goes black black black black and 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
it was a weather balloon
