I watched the flaming lips documentary 'fearless freaks' tonight...a friend of a friend lent it to me because one night at their house, it came to be my turn to pick music from their wall o' music...yeah, the whole wall is covered...crazy...and I picked the flaming lips. I wanted to hear 'Ego tripping at the gates of hell'. This song affected/improved my mood for the better many a cool morning while driving to work in Atlanta. I had the version that the postal service mixed and it has a wicked beat that picked me up...i still listen to it frequently but now just for the pleasure of the song. The flaming lips doc was wild, they've been through a lot. Certainly unique. Who would've thought that they were from small town Oklahoma.


'Ego Tripping at the Gates of Hell'
The Flaming Lips


I was waiting on a moment
But the moment never came
All the billion other moments
Were just slipping all away
I must have been tripping
Were just slipping all away
Just ego tripping

I was wanting you to love me
But your love it never came
All the other love around me
Was just wasting all away
I must have been tripping
Was just wasting all away
Just ego tripping

I was waiting on a moment
But the moment never came -
But the moment never came -
