Puscifer's original name was Umlaut, "a premiere improvisational hardcore band". The name "Puscifer" was first publicized as a fictional band in the first episode of Mr. Show, including Keenan and Adam Jones as members. Jones is not associated with Puscifer otherwise, although artwork by Jones has been featured on Puscifer apparel (the "Your Mom's a Bitch" shirt, specifically). Keenan describes Puscifer as "simply a playground for the various voices in my head, [...] a space with no clear or discernible goals, [...] where my Id, Ego, and Anima all come together to exchange cookie recipes." Keenan also worked on short films with Ford Englerth and Jeffrey Brooks from Red Rock Entertainment Development; these shorts were done in a similar manner to that of Mr. Show and Tom Waits' Big Time.
Puscifer is "as much a clothing line as it is a band", with the clothing items produced in limited numbers. Keenan collaborated on a leather jacket with Paul Frank. On September 16, 2008, Keenan updated the puscifer.com blog, revealing that the first ever Puscifer store would be opening "hopefully" by October 1 in Jerome, Arizona. Occupying a small space above a tattoo parlor, the store opened on October 3, 2008. In addition to the merchandise available on the band's online store, Keenan has also made available locally roasted coffee, art, and an ever-changing list of limited edition collectibles.

Puscifer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bonin' fifty with a forty
What's your twenty, honey, papa's all alone
Empty hizzy, left me dizzy
I'm a pirate lost his booty
I'm a pimp without a dog without a bone
Pooh-bear be cryin'
Some Oreo cracker song
Wigger be tryin' to get his queen to come on home
So pardon all the cheesy
Wigger pimp is feelin' crazy
Daisy Dukes' my kryptonite, Im fondelin'
My pimpin' hand gone limp an'
I'm a trippin' plain and simple
All the po po's, wolves and dogs are closin' in
Where all my honey gone?
Pooh-bear be cryin'
Some Oreo cracker song
Wigger be tryin' to get his queen to come on home
Now I know I ain't no player
Heavy hitter, roller, spitter
Those legit can go ahead and get along
I ain't no cracka' quitta'
Gonna do my best to get her back to
Daddy, honey bring your sweet ass home
Where all my honey gone?
Pooh-bear be cryin'
Some Oreo cracker song
Wigger be tryin' to get his queen to come on home
Where all my honey gone?
Pooh-bear be cryin'
Some Oreo cracker song
Wigger be tryin' to get his queen to come on home
Where all my honey gone?
Pooh-bear be cryin'
Some Oreo cracker song
Wigger be tryin' to get his queen to come on home
The lyrics to Puscifer's song "Drunk With Power" depict a man who is lost and struggling to find his way back to the love of his life. The opening lines of the song, "Pimpin' like I'm campin' / Bonin' fifty with a forty / What's your twenty, honey, papa's all alone", suggest a man who is lonely and seeking companionship, using the language of a pimp to portray himself as confident and powerful. However, the subsequent lines reveal a man whose attempts at finding love have failed, leaving him feeling lost and disconnected from his own identity.
The lyrics further describe the man's feelings of despair and confusion, using metaphors such as "I'm a pirate lost his booty / I'm a pimp without a dog without a bone" to illustrate his sense of aimlessness. The chorus repeats the question "Where all my honey gone?", emphasizing the man's desperation and fear of being alone. The use of the term "wigger" in the song can be interpreted as a reference to the man's white privilege and cultural appropriation, adding an additional layer of commentary on social issues and power dynamics.
Overall, "Drunk With Power" is a complex and multi-layered song that explores themes of love, loneliness, power, and identity. Its lyrics are full of vivid imagery and metaphor, and reveal a deep understanding of human emotion and psychology.
