Alien Sex Fiend Lyrics

water... no...
The singer is likely responding to an unrelated question or comment about water in some way, perhaps expressing confusion or a lack of interest.

(dee dee dee dee)
This line is an expression of monotony or boredom, using onomatopoeia to mimic a repetitive sound.

(da da da da)
As with the previous line, this demonstrates boredom or lack of engagement, possibly indicating that the singer is waiting for something to happen.

have you ever had gas before?
This line addresses the listener directly, inquiring whether they have experienced the sensation of having gas, which might be intended as a metaphor for feeling uncomfortable or uneasy.

four three two one
Counting down from four to one, this line is reminiscent of a rocket launch or other dramatic event, preparing the listener for something important.

the time is now 4.57 / and 20 seconds past the hour...
This line establishes a specific time, indicating that the events that follow are taking place at a particular moment. It also conveys a sense of precision and urgency, as if the singer has something important to do or say.

sucking on a long cigarette / he looks into the machinery...
The singer describes a scene in which someone (presumably the singer themselves, but not specified) is smoking and examining some kind of equipment, possibly suggesting uncertainty or boredom.

there must be more to life than this / more to life...
This line expresses dissatisfaction or disillusionment with current circumstances, indicating the artist's desire for something more or something different.

i think i need some est or / a trip to the moon / i think i need some est, trip to the moon / trip to the moon
The artist expresses a desire for escape or transformation, whether through a drug experience ('est') or a literal trip to the moon. This could represent a desire to break free of the monotony or dissatisfaction mentioned earlier and to seek out something new or exciting.

the time is now 4.58 and 2 seconds...
This line is an update on the time from the earlier line, perhaps indicating that time is ticking away or that the artist is conscious of the minutes slipping by.

his eyes are all grey and blown inside...
The singer describes someone with eyes that appear dull or lifeless, which could suggest an emotional or psychological state of numbness or detachment.

puffing on that cold cigarette / feel his life slipping through my hands... / there must be more to life than this
The artist returns to describing someone smoking, this time suggesting that they are wasting their life or letting it slip by without meaning or purpose. This connects to the earlier expression of dissatisfaction and desire for something more.

feel my life running away / feel my life slipping through - your hands
This line shifts to a first-person perspective, with the singer expressing a personal sense of loss or failure. The mention of 'your hands' is ambiguous and could be directed at any number of people or entities.

take my hand / take my life / take my home / and take my wife
This line contains a series of imperatives, each beginning with the word 'take.' It's unclear whether the singer is directing these statements at someone else or expressing their own desire to relinquish control or responsibility. The range of items mentioned (hand, life, home, wife) suggests a comprehensive surrender of some kind.

have you ever had gas (ugh) before? (aaagh) / i think i need some / est, trip to the moon / i think i need some est, trip to the moon
The singer returns to the earlier gas metaphor, expressing physical discomfort or perhaps spiritual unease. They again express a desire for escape or transformation through 'est' or a trip to the moon.

sucking on that long cigarette / you look into the machinery / cha cha cha cha / i i i think i need some est / or a trip to the moon / you can't make rubbers from my brain
This final stanza returns to the scene of someone smoking and inspecting machinery. The repetition of 'i' in the third line suggests stuttering or uncertainty. The last line is cryptic and difficult to interpret, but it could suggest a refusal to be molded or constrained by external influences.

trip to the moon / trip to the moon / trip to the moon / i think i need some est, trip to the moon / sucking on that long cigarette / you look into the machinery
These final lines restate the earlier themes of escape and dissatisfaction, again returning to the image of smoking and inspecting machinery. The repetition of 'trip to the moon' confirms the desire for escape or transcendence.

10 - 9 - 8 - 7 - 6 - 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - one...
This is a countdown similar to the one earlier in the song, perhaps indicating the end of the journey or the end of the singer's patience.
