Lyrics:
You and me
Sellin’ weed
Think I got
All I need
With you as my girl
Feels like I'm ruling the world
You and me
With our Kingdom before us
Feels like we're living in the Magic Forest
With you as my girl
Feels like I’m king of the world
We’re the king and queen
Dope dealing celebrities
And we're free
Free to live our life
Just however we please
In the magic trees
Danny and Grace
Got it all figured out
He's dealing coke
While she works at The Slaughterhouse
You got to live what you do
I got blood in my shoe
Driving to work
As the sun's coming up
I wish it was a spaceship
Coming for us
To take us away
In some Royal Parade
Yeah
We’re the king and queen
Dope dealing celebrities
In our dreams
Dreaming that one day we'll get out of this scene
And into the magic trees
Yeah we’re the king and queen
You and me
Yeah
Dreaming that one day we'll get out of this scene
Free to live our lives
Just however we please
In the magic trees
In the magic trees
In the magic trees
In the magic trees - Розваги
Wayne is such a cool dude . When i was 17 years old I moved to NW 16 street in OKC , Wayne lived about 2 blocks away from me . We would talk on occasions . When they recorded Clouds Taste Metallic I toured studio 7 with Dave (studio owner) and got to see my first real rock star recording set up , Ronald Jones had so many pedals lining the floors .... Being a kid from the ghetto he (wayne) really helped understand how i had the power to change my own environment to better myself . He literally opened his door to me any time i wanted to talk.
thats wicked brother. thanks for sharing. mustve been some great moments.
I absolutely love hearing stories from people that know him or even had just a quick runin with him...
Wayne is the definition of cool in my book...
Awesome to read, happy you had that experience and inspiration. As for me, Wayne and TFL as a whole take up a neat little space in my soul. That’s how much music can impact and help. Big love
One of the last true icons and the one of the last legendary rock bands
Always found Wayne to have the time to stop and say hello, great guy!
I can hear 30 years of Flaming Lips in this song & it's rad.
Moooo
I love everything about this band - the melodies, the mix, weird noises, strange turns, love of freedom, love of love, spirit, seeking bliss
I haven't been this excited for a Lips album since Embryonic.
Same!
Fuckin same dude
same! :) i thrashed to their 2011 stuff & the terror but I think this is what i've always been waiting for. something my girlfriend can listen to with me lol
And just as disappointing
Me: Since "At War With the Mystics"
The lyrics kinda take me back to the early to mid 90s Flaming Lips. Pretty solid track.
A bit, yeh. And the music sounds like it's tuning up to the sound of an old AM radio, which is admittedly a pretty weird comment.
@@translucent. I can hear that in the track actually. Pretty excited about the new album.
My thoughts exactly.
It takes me back to the Soft Bulletin days.
@@jonstanley1579 fucking love that album
Wayne Coyne is going to be my lifelong inspiration that you can continue to grow and be creative your entire life
Every song creates a new happiness portal in my brain. Happy at 66 yrs old.
I felt the sadness in this song even before I knew what it was referring to. Man, life is really a challenge sometimes
Finally a song that makes me feel the way the yoshime album did 😍
For me it hits like Soft Bulletin but SAME 🥰
Aye same weird I didn't think anyone else would say that
The new songs have been killing it. Crazy hyped for American Head.
Yup. It’s shaping up to be their best LP since the Soft Bulletin/Yoshimi/Mystics triple whammy.
Tyler P OK, thanks for explaining so thoroughly.
@@TheScoppie Not sure I'm ready to go quite that far. Embryonic is my favorite, definitely over Mystics. But damn if I'm not excited.
@@TheScoppie they've sucked and been bad for years. you're welcome for the explanation
K M - ooh, could I hear your 16th studio LP, please?! I take it you’ve written and released a better one?
To think this came out in covid ridden times, the fateful 2020... Music releases in that very recent year were nothing short of heroic given the circumstances.
I luv the touching simplicity of the videoclip and the music. The Lips have become famous for their extravaganza, but when they craft something simple and moving, it can be incredibly beautiful and heart-rending.
I totally agree 👍
Honestly thanks for everything flamin lips im here under LSD like when we first meet 16 years ago
Glad I just drunkenly started watching Flaming Lips music videos a week ago, I think I would've missed this album by a year or two.
Yeah, I got burned out on the lips years ago, but this sounds cool.
Wayne's experimental sound recording years lost me. But this makes me remember why I loved them.
Damn, it's hard to believe that it's already been a year since this album came out. Honestly I wasn't super crazy about it at first but I like it more and more with each listen. It amazes me how consistently great all of the Flaming Lips albums are. They never stop being creative or change so much that they lose their old appeal either like so many bands do.
That second verse hit like a brick as opposed to the first but that is what they do best. Emotion love/death vibes wrapped together beautifully crafted and slapped together all naturally synthetic. ifyouknowwhatimean
Well said!
I have seen them many times since 1993, but my new girlfriend has never seen them. I can't wait to see her mind blown.
I tried to get my husband to see them with me last year and he said I don't want to watch some washed up 90's hipster band... I was like really? Smdh
@@sonicleaves I'm assuming he's your ex husband now correct
They are soooooo good!!! I'm soooo happy for her! I've been to hundreds and hundreds of shows! They are truly one of the best!
@@sonicleaves They were soooo goood last summer! I saw them in Asbury Park right across the street from the beach! It was sooo beautiful! I'm sure the Lucy I danced w that night helped allot LOL! Meet Wayne and Les Claypool after the show. They BOTH drew cartoons on BOTH set lists! Cause I caught one of each at the end of each show... Les Claypool kind of a dick that night... Maybe he had a bad night I dunno just sayin. But Wayne! He's such a beautiful human being!!! He's soooo nice! Come!!! Get the VIP before the show! Done it a few times def worth the extra 50$
Saw them in Portland in the early 90s - it was my first show. Small venue. The entire visual aspect of the show consisted of each band member being wrapped in Christmas lights. What a great show.
and oooh those sirens in the end are a wake up call, a sudden freeze down the spine
but the adventure was lovely!
This is has some early lips vibes going on. I love it.
4/4 with the singles so far, awesome stuff. can't wait to hear the full thing.
i remember riding the bus to work in july 2020 listening to this just after it came out, seeing the morning sun rising
for some reason i'm now nostalgic for that
Best hair in the biz Wayne!
Getting this record was like getting a treasure, and impeccable quality, on vinyl, beautiful stuff man, an extremely moving album, I haven't been so hyped by any new songs in longer than I can remember, an I'm close to 40..it seems so personal like they were writing about my life too! Thank the Lord for the Lips...and Bob Dylan of course
This has an excellent Beach Boys psychedelic vibe. Cool song!
Those dark strings + Wayne’s voice gives me chills
One day for sure, not yesterday, maybe today, hopefully tomorrow. 💔
It'll be legalized across the U.S. next year :)
Sadly, it won't happen here in U.K for a good few years yet.. our gov is not progressive, it is suppressive. They want to organise how they going to tax us on it like tobacco. .... and I swear our prime minister is coked out of his silly face most the time..have you watched him on TV, definetly on something.
I N S I G H S I don’t think it will be. Neither presidential candidates are particularly pro-cannabis, sadly.
@@user-hx5xq6tl9f we have woodlovers up here too :) happy hunting this year & stay safe! ;)
Oh my God yeah I've been watching the prime minister showing signs of that :/
It's all worrying since these suppressive people in government are more interested in exploiting every resource they can at any expense of human rights violations it takes for their corporate lobbyists to keep people in the dark that it is our own conscience energy they're working to keep under mind control indoctrination. :'(
Like since plant medicines could revolutionize healthcare they're trying to slow the rapid ascension of our cultures. :p
This wasn’t even about weed LMAOOO
this album is the single best thing that happened in 2020. best flaming lips album to date (and i love all their albums)
This album is fantastic!
A classic Flaming Lips track. Love the creative in and out of focus camera work -- really fits the mood.
Can’t wait for the new album. Latest songs are strong enough to be performed with single acoustic guitar and Wayne’s singing. That the whole band is behind them is outstanding. Go Lips!
A sentimental ode to the things we do to get by.
I can't believe a song with a title that goofy is this good.
Hey you just perfectly described every Flaming Lips song.
No stranger than....... pretty much most of their other titles 😍
Agreed!
@Ryan Smith Please! I am no John Titor. However, given Schrodiger's Cat, Quarks/Leptons and such, growing up in Pasadena, attending CalTech, time travel, a possibility. Sorry, about the run-on sentences. Much better at Physics than English...
Check out Billy Strings "Dust in a Baggie", then.
I love their brand new music its so fresh! 😁
They are unstoppable. Magnifico! ♥️🎶
You and me selling weed -now
You and me managing a dispensary -future
I really like the mix of this song! It sounds great through my monitors! You've got to love this band's wonderful weirdness!
Side note: I was lucky enough to be part of the local crew when the Flaming Lips played in Victoria, BC in 2012 at the Rifflandia Festival. I can't even begin to tell you how amazing the whole experience was! The band and their crew were really cool and interacted with every one of us as we put together their crazy stage show. We found confetti in our gear for years afterwards!
Enjoyed all the times I met the 💋. They all real and very down to earth. 🎈🎈🎈🎈spent a few days blowing up balloons 🎈for then for a New Years Eve gig in OKC.
I love the songwriting on this album
This is magic
Perfectly crafted song, I love The Flaming Lips! Ahhhhhhh!
my fav of the tracks so far!
Solid flaming lips song, cant wait for new album woohoo
Beautiful song!!!! The Best band of the world!
Damn this some quality flaming lips
Havent listened to em since the 200ps and im glad they are back to basics
lovely "yeehaw" moment one and a half minute in
then the shutdown
Y-YEAH (hip-hop break)
MOOOOOOO!
*autotune lovely vocal"
Y-EAH
this is one of their best fresh and new songs! it's such a emotional cheesy journey, the stops and shifts in the sound are so natural yet goofy and unexpected! love it! love how the camera films the trees while wayne sings "in the magic treeees" fading away gloriously, reminds me of ceremony and summer in general ❤
Love the song!
This is realllllly fuckin good
I can not wait for this album.

I Love the Fleming lips!!!
I have not spun my Lips LP's for quite some time until a week back I pulled out At War With The Mystics and Embryonic. The vibe their music creates is so palpable.The two other people staying where I am lodging asked me who is this tripped out band on the stereo?
Welcome to The Flaming Lips dimension was my reply.
This album sounds like a real banger, over to Discogs I go!💎🎵🎛🌻🌸🤩👌
First new instantly awesome sound I've heard in some time!
Love you wayne, steven, michael, dave, Danny, George, and the gang!
Ah man, fl just plug straight into my soul
Really great. Dunno how the fuck I missed this a month ago... unless it's the weed. #OvergrowTheGovernment
Can't wait for the new album the flaming lips just get better and better
Getting a sparkle horse vibe
From the Greatest Flaming Lips Album Ever! 😳
That was beautiful. I literally opened my DAW before it was over to try and create a late-night Instasong because it inspired me so much.
Beautiful, glorious, melodic. Lips well and truly back to their best. Can’t wait for album release!! 😊👍🏻
Beautiful 🙏🙏🙏
Great song.
good song!!
my fave song of 2020 so far
STORY OF MY PNW LIFE :) THANKS FLIPS FOR AGAIN SPEAKING OUR STORY
F'ing amazing! Love the cows in the background.
Wonderful
I love you guys!🤘🏼🖤
Flaming!
Lyrics are so good 🏴👍
amo esta canción!
I love this song so much. It reminds me to "The machine in india" all 4 versions togheter. The universe of Flaming lips its a path to the love of being life.
I just started listening to the Flaming lips a month ago, i got to know them because of the song "Go" They did with Mark Linkous of sparklehorse, which is an also amazing band and my favorite. Never seen something quite like the Flaming lips' music in the same way that I haven't seen music like the one mark linkous made
This song made me think of sparkle horse , doin this live they should break into sad and beautiful world
@@joeantolak4629 yeah, even to the lyrics "you and me selling weed" 😂😂
Thanks Wayne!
So great only band today that I know I'll love what I hear
Love.
