On my way home, police car pulled me over.
After they left, I puttered out of gas.
Triple-A' came, but my card was expired!
I had to walk home, and of course, it rained half the time.
I tried to get some shut-eye, then I was abducted!

They put cold things in my butt.
They sampled a bit of my D.N.A.
They left me on top of my sheets,
I dreamt I went potty, then woke up drenched in me.
This day sucked the hardest ever

I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today.
A little bit less than nothing would go my way.
I got up to toss my soiled sheets,
the hallway was dark and I stubbed my big toe.
It was then that I sensed the irony (burning me),
then I heard the voice say,
"Come sail aboard S.S. Nepenthe!"

I suppose I'm to blame for getting pulled over.
I guess I'm the culprit for running out of gas.
Let's assume I'm the guy who didn't pay his 'Triple-A' fee.
In actuality, I let the zetas probe me.
Yesterday was all my fault.

I let negativity get the better of me.
Thank goodness for the bathtubs and suds!
They temporarily set free this quandary

    My Interpretation:I was always thinking this song was about coma victims, i don't know why. Maybe because it was the damadge report the dude was talking about at 10:20 in the song, maybe he got in a car crash. And also all the crazy music they give to them...

    General Comment:As for the whole what does calgone mean, yes it is a detergent/soap. Another point is the slogan for Calgon, it was/is "Calgon take me away". I think that fits in with the song as well.

    General Comment:the best song about a bad day and how not to let it get to you, if you sulk in it of course its gonna get worse. if you keep a good head it has a potential of being a good one.

    whatever it is though,
    dont let the zetas probe you
