I remember catching a glimpse of this video on MTV years ago as I was rushing off to catch my school bus and it was stuck in my head all day. When I got to school I asked my friend "Hey, do you know that song that has the carrot robot in the video?" He stared at me for a good five seconds before pushing past me like I had gone full weapons grade autistic. Memories.
Life is a carousell... there is no particular meaning... we try to make it more than it is, but it is a blink of the eye... and then we are gone. And yet it is so hard to make something of it.
This song always makes me think of my late father. The album "Electro Shock Blues" is a true maste piece who helps you through the mouning and even makes you believe in life at the end - genius.
You're dead but the world keeps spinning
Take a spin through the world you left
It's getting dark a little too early
Are you missing the dearly bereft?
Taking flight and you could be
Here tomorrow
Taking flight, well, you could get
Here tonight
I'm gonna fly on down for the
Last stop to this town
What?
I'm gonna fly on down then fly away
Well, alright
Taking a spin through the neighborhood
The neighbors scream
What ya talkin' bout?
'Cause they don't know how to
Let you in
And I can't let you out
What if I was not your only friend
In this world
Can you take me where you're going
If you're never coming back
I'm gonna fly on down for the
Last stop to this town
I'm gonna fly on down
Then fly away on my way
Why don't we take a ride
Away up high
Through the neighborhood
Up over the billboards and the factories
And smoke
I'm gonna fly on down for the
Last stop to this town
Yeah
I'm gonna fly on down
Then fly away on my way
Fly away
You're dead but the world keeps spinning
Take a spin through the world you left
It feels so sad when you remember he wrote this song about his sister's death
I've been reading his autobiography, and he made this about Liz, his sister who commited suicide. His landlady came to his house after the funeral and she told him that she can see apparitions. She said she saw a young woman walk into his house while he was away.
So he figures her last stop before she really went was his town.
"Hey, so it just made this album. It's was made after everyone in my family died within a month of each other."
"Okay, what should we do for the first video?"
"I was thinking we make a clone of myself out of a carrot and giving it a robot body."
