up all night

and if you stay up all night
listening to songs
and tasting rum

and in the mornings
lay underneath the sun
and the soft summer breeze

then swim into the bluest of sea's
and dive in and close your eyes

only then will you loose all sense of who you are
and remember who you like being.

the flaming lips live?

On the right hand side a bunch of guys dressed like Santa Clause are dancing while on the left girls dressed in alien suits are giving everything they 've got. Meanwhile, giant robots and superheroes are jumping up and down at the back while guns shooting colourful confetti and giant ballons are everywhere around us. Then the band comes on stage and frontman Wayne Coyne gets inside a large inflatable bubble (!) and jumps on the crowd. I 'm thinking 'what the hell of a gig is this?'... but before i come up with an answer the bubble is on top of me and Wayne is screaming 'welcome to our party!'

I don't know where the sun beams end and the star light begins, it's all a mystery. And I don't know how a man decides what right for his own life - it's all a mystery.*
