Periodic tableware

Psychotropic science fare



But who will save the sane?

Some beings

Just can't change

Now crawl on by

With a fake tear in your eye

And think

Isn't he strange?



Pseudogasmic chemistry

Necromorphic apathy



But who will save the sane?...



Physical laws unapplied

Hamper my quest

Unsurreal world

Of unfailed HIV tests

Der Ubermensch warning

Of pi (techno junkies)

3.141592653...

Come on boy

Tell me, tell me



Tentative ambulance

Date bound for G Ward

Beartrap psychiatrist bait

Chew my paw off

Unmercilessly we will take you

Away to slumber

But only if you can recite

Avogadro's number



Now crawl on by

With a fake tear in your eye

And think

Wasn't he strange?

    General Comment:Best song by Type O Negative.. This is the song that made me a fanatic. =/ This song could be relating to one who is totally sane in his own mind, but to everyone else, he is insane.. Because their thoughts are common, which makes them not sane.... You follow me?

    General Comment:Is there any other song that namechecks Avogadro's number? That's flipping brilliant.

    General Comment:interesting song, sounds like pete knows some advanced math formulas, or at least did some research,. Still can't tell if Kenny is playing the tabbed out notes when Pete sings the Pi phrase.(en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…)

    and it's not likely Kenny would utilize drop-d tuning, although I wouldn't exactly rule it out.

    General Comment:I just have two questions... 1) What does Der ubermensch mean? and 2) Why does Pete quote pie? (3.141592653)

    BTW The first time I heard this song was In a Mental hopsital, I had got the World Coming Down album, and I decided to listen to it on my Diskman when I was with dad at work... He was doing a computer job at this Mental Hospital... It was scary... Yet Funny.

    General Comment:I love this song - just the time sig and the riff. And I like songs with long words in them.
