Lyric discussion by bluegrassish 

It's Avey Tare, just with pitch shift/octave generator or summat and some other FX put on his voice. When they do this one live the effect is even more exaggerated; it sounds boss (and a little frightening, actually--ha).

Not there needs to be a reason for any effect or sound, but I think here it serves to make his voice sound deeper and more authoritative--like a parent. And I think it sounds twisted maybe because it's being filtered through memory...I don't really care to overanalyze it, though.

This is verbatim from the CD booklet: "I caught you when your line got disconnected trouble. Respect the hive, it seems like days since you ejected. Your mom and I will dance you through your bad weather. Young love is fine, just please respect the candles as they line.

Now Son!

I know there will be times when you wish things could be so simple. Your mom and I. To pet your head and dress your lettuce. Don't work all night and split your hair and sleep on numbers. Young love is bright. Just please respect the candles in a line.

Now Son!"

The recording seems to deviate from this a little bit, though.
