Flaming Lips, The - I'm Working At NASA On Acid Lyrics

So given the opportunity to work with Lightning Bolt someone thought “Yeah I like them but wouldn’t it be cool if they made pretty pop music instead” ? Man, I like the song but that was disappointing. Felt a little more like a cameo than an actual collaboration.

There is no better song, there is no better video. This is sublimity.

TRAPPIST-1 brought me here.

a pooey doona

looks like lb footage from the church in philly. first unitarian church

Still my favourite Flaming Lips song.

I'll ask the insect again...oh, does it feel pain when it dies?

Heard this on AccuRadio.

I love you and Miley Cyrus❤

+Lightning_Acid "why why why why why why why why why"

NICE! A Spy vs Spy t-shirt!

@Antoine Gingras-Saint Louis lol saw the Black Flag one too

@Jaycee J. Oh wait, Wayne Coyne has it?

working inside a chartreuse garage with a leaf blower

...This is so fucking above psychedelic experiences...
nice one

The title of the song should be "I am working acid at NASA."

+muddavugger More like "I am NASA at working."

"I'm just working at NASA"

why ?!?!

red fang shirt yes!

este es mi trabajo

dave frid is just so good at mixing

Branleurs !

This has saved my life.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*jaw drops*
One of those songs that's relatively short but is actually like a few-hour-long trip when you watch it. I literally had to shake myself out of a daze at the end.

What app(s) is(are) Steven using on his touch screen device(which is most likely an iphone).

Great collaboration ...... Lightning Bolt is primitive to the core, and the juxtaposition of them with Flaming Lips is perfect .... very much enjoyed this

awesome, what a weird combo, both bands are wild though, love'em

just how crazy can they be, someone stop this madness

it´s very crazy.....

LESS LIGHT, MORE TUNNEL!!!!!!!!!

My theory about the meaning of this song is ( if there is one) that it's about some sort of god who tries to make sense of what he has done.

And if god was to be found anywhere on earth he would be at nasa on acid :)

im working at nasa on acid on acid

Oh here's some TRIPPY stuff.  I like it a lot  :)

Man, it's very crazy.I'm mad with this music . psicódelia pura e na veia

Namaste means hello AND goodbye.

old dudes trippin

Not liking something is not a reason to not write about it.

No Matter What The Song Sounds Like Or How Long or what the lyrics are if the words flaming lips are attached to it it's amazing

lol comment

It is a visual and musical masterpiece. good work

Dude in the hat looks like hes freaking out, you took to many blotters man!! he's lost in the rabbit hole.

For someone who apparantly doesn't like LSD wayne sure does enough songs about it.

Not nearly enough Lightning Bolt :(

anyone else feeling the space oddity vibe?

exactly!

also, sick red fang shirt!

so good.

That or floating in space in a suit... with Pink Floyd (and the lips of course)

omg thats terrible

imagine being on acid in a spaceship outer spae... oh god

WHY NOT?

I'd really like to know this as well

It's nice to see Lightning Bolt laying back and doing a slower groove.

WEED also is worthy of everyone's appreciation

You got chippendale'd

For Best Results: Enjoy on Drugs.

no sticks?

red fang shirt. fuck yeah.

i like that you can see Michael Ivins his glasses in this video

lol just joking a bit here, but at the same time..mountains have a spirit where you can communicate to when being self-aware of your deeper spiritual nature.. any time of the day.. :) some do so through meditation.. :)

Well, you might want to ask the mountain as they suggest at 2:00 (really try it! :D )

who said that you HAVE to get high to enjoy it?...

Beautiful

I had no idea about this collaboration. pretty sick

it helps

RED FANG TEE \o/

micheal ivins without sunglasses?

on my page

check out some lightning bolt live footage... a bit of data bending going on too

Thats a strange trip but its a new decade and we have to accept new music and new more things to come. Thats cool that the Flaming Lips opened the doors to new music and introducing it to the world. I know Lightning Bolt its been around for a couple of years but they create a new face to rock n roll. Its new rock and it sounds better than how it used to sound in the last 10 years. Awesome video, awesome song, and it ROCKS!

i think that this song is about humans against nature and how we think that we are so much superior to other living species but not under the influence of taking drugs maybe i`m wrong but it`s only a hunch

you're right! but high is even better.

ground control has ever been an illusionary concept

why what?

Hey that's a Red Fang shirt! :D

That's a weird thing to say hyperfangz

take my money now!

Not always a fan of FL but came here because I do enjoy LB... great work, a lovely collab. Thanks for the thing!

what a great collaboration. i wouldn't say i'm anywhere near this level, but i just finished my first album "probably not for people on strong drugs, but maybe only appealing to those who are" and i am trying to spread the word to some like and open minded music listeners. check me out if you are interested. i am brand new to this and would love some honest feedback.

@cottonbuddies Actually they did the sell out dealio a long time ago and seemed to go in the opposite direction. In a good way.

this band will never sell out

Shouldnt have to high

sounds like a bizzare mix of lennon/bowie/ and ELO

and you have no sense of humour

welcome, my son, welcome to the machine

these lyrics are golden. - "i man the controls, and i am trying to control. oh something, that can never be controlled."

This and "Is David Bowie Dying?" are like almost the same song.

Usually bands this old sell out big time by now. 2011 was a very creative year for The Flaming Lips. I am going to enjoy it until they decide to make a pepsi commercial.
