Waterbug - Live on KCRW "Brave New World"

A brother's at the store
A genius when he's bored
He contemplates his consciousness
He feels his hands, they sweat
He can't connect it yet
He pulls all his resources

And he calls out
The insects he commands
And the waterbugs
Attack the policeman

So anyway, so what...
Aparently what happened is, like I said
He took these drugs and he went into this store
And he buys all this stuff and he comes back to the car
And apparently that's when the drugs really started to kick in

And he goes back into the store
Buys the stuff again, he goes back out to his car
And as he's trying to drive out of the parking lot
He passes out in his car
And the security guard calls the police

And the police come but they don't know what's wrong with him
They think he's had a heart attack or somethin'
And they take him down to the hospital
And this next section of the song is like a little
It's like his drugged out interpretation of what's happen' to him

My brother's at the morgue
He gets up off the floor
He contemplates his escape
But a guard waits at the door
And he feels his powers soar
As he pulls all his resources

And he calls out
The insects he commands
And the waterbugs
Attack the policeman

Take it away

Ok, then this last part of the story show where
I came into that his wife
Said, gave me a call and said that she got call from the hospital
Now she go down there 'cause she was wrong with my brother
And I immediatelly thought that he was in a car accident or got shot or something

So we went down there and whoever was up was there
Those doctors or whoever was were lookin' at him
They said that apparently he had overdosed on some kind of drug
And that when he woke up they'd give us a call and we'd come down again
And apparently, he woke up later and found his way home somehow
And when I asked him about it later he never remembered anything about it
And it's a true story
And of course everydody knows that

He tries to make it home
He stops to use the phone
But he can't remember where the house is
But a cop waits at his car
So he needs his meds once more
And he pulls all his resources

And he calls out
The insects he commands
And the waterbugs
Attack the policeman
And the waterbugs
Attack the policeman
