Name: New Blue Kid
Duration: P00H03M46S
Description: We were trying to be psychedelic but without the standard elements like fuzz-wah or backwards guitar. There's a strange sudden pan in the vocals early on. It doesn't happen again but if I can find a copy without it I'll replace this with that. (I think it's very likely that it was just an accident that happened during mixing, though.)

lyrics

NEW BLUE KID

Shimmy shimmy hey hey don't look down

New Blue Kid walk into the sunrise
With your jellybean eyes. Tell me lies
Lunar Head welcome to the corner
With the 3d face. What a place
Look at us now see how we run
Oh the cyclones we go around in cyclones

New Blue Kid walk into the ceiling when you're reeling
With your headlights on. Count to one
Lunar face igniting like the flashes of the lightning
With the clouds in your head. Glide instead
Look at us now see how we run
Oh the cyclones we go around in cyclones

New Blue Kid walk into the sunrise
With your jellybean eyes. Tell me lies
Lunar Head welcome to the corner
With the 3d face. What a place
Look at us now see how we run
Oh the cyclones we go around in cyclones

Shimmy shimmy hey hey don't look down
