Lyrics:
Say bye bye. Kneel down, yield, pray, and kiss the ground.
Gonna be awhile before we touch back down.
Ain’t no turning back. Like a train sprouting wings, fuck the track. Hello, Sky!
I’m all aboard this surprise locomotion. Oh my. Oh well. Guess I’d better just enjoy the ride.
My oh my.
Grinning & chatty tapestries and tile.
I’ll try to keep this conversation light. May be up all night.
I surmise there might of been Iowaska hiding in the water and wine.
Looks like I’m about to take the bullet train to Iowaska soon.
Well, all right.
Ride. Ride.
Choo Choo Choo
Animistical wayside Sabbatical.

I'm never quite certain what Maynard is trying to tell me but I want to hear it anyway.
I think you know EXACTLY what he is trying to tell you. You've known all along, it's the first thought you think every morning when you wake up, it's the last thought before you fall asleep, the image that flashes through your mind at the peak of an orgasm or dmt/ayahuasca trip only too fast to remember after, and at the moment of death. It's your oldest memory, your greatest hope and worst fear, its... shit I ran out of ideas there.
@@williamcozart8158 poor guy went and forgot his pen
@@pricc-om shit the bed again.
typical
Take ayahuasca.
eat drugs.
I'm almost 60 and still loving this journey with Maynard.
55
Your age doesn’t matter! Maynard is 59. I hope to G-d I never have to stop listening to the music I love just because I have a birthday!
That shit is priceless:" ive changed,ive changed...the sheets and towels after every one".
This song is so fucking good, it just gets better with each listen. So crisp and richly detailed, and this whole album is definitely my vibe for the last two years. Music like this keeps me going
❤
Maynard really needs to start making movies, I'd watch the hell out of them.
He has they are called "The Bikini Bandits". One is live action the other is animated and I highly recommend them.
I know he has been in some movies.
Yep there old as shit but none the less great, he’s a great actor who knows what he has hopes for next maybe he will get into POLITICS, and succeed Arizona as well as history in life is still being written by himself ...
spend 20 minutes with him you won't want to see him again soon LOL
@@dougg5707 how so?
"Alright then, picture this if you will..."
Nah, totally different levels...
*Rosetta stoned starts*
God damn I shit the bed
...but I forgot my pen
Puscifer is always super hit or miss for me.........and this, this is a hit!
I love how out there and subtly aggressive the song is. Not to mention that video....jesus, now THAT is a video.
I honestly wish Tool was more creatively loose and free, like this, like they used to be. It's gotten WAY too paint by numbers...imo.
Also....I kinda want to start a ska band(tho I don't like ska) based in Iowa....purely to name the band... Iowa Ska. That would amuse me for a good long while.... :)
"Exact change, too."
Kills me every time.
You had it in your ass, the whole time.
Hahahaha
"You didn't even TIP us at the bar... you had it in your asshole the whole time."
he said it from the beginning that he changed
I'll never look at a burro they same way again
He didn’t even tip them at the bar it was in ass the whole time 😂
I'm really proud of Billy D. He handled himself well.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm so happy to see Hildy having "a nice god-damn day at the god-damn beach"... She deserves it
Lol 😂 ...replying to Jesse Bitting
I like him!!!
I never forgave her for telling the cops that he "may have" hit her.
@@tense99 may or may not have...
He wouldn't touch a hair on Hilda's head we'll wait maybe naaaaaa
Maynard remembered his pen .. this is as trippy as balls !!
after X, yogi DMT and a box of Krispy Kreams, obviously ;)
Nice Rosetta reference
I see what you did there! Nice call back
I came to the comment section to find rosetta stoned references and was not dissapointed.
In my lifetime, I’ve now witnessed Maynard’s wonderfully weird and punchy artistic voice transcend hostile social criticism, traverse incisive satire, round third base in an appeal to the introspective and esoteric, and now metastasize into pithy dad-joke.
I love this f*ckin’ guy.
Oh yes, gun finger dance in Apocalyptical confirms it
Maynard may be the closest thing we ever see to a wizard.
I think most our age have gone through this transition together listening to his content 😏
(41)
He's cultured buttermilk blood biscuits
uh...ok.
These songs age like fine wine
Facts bro the guy doesn't put out anything bad some just have got to grow on u
Great, now the youtube algorithm is going to recommend me acid trip videos for the next month
Ayahuasca trip videos
POWERFUL BINEURAL BEATS (Warning: Pineal Gland Activation, Will Cause Ego Death)
yeah, this video is trippy as fuck LUL
Nooo my egoooooo
@@theragingrodent__ Lego my eggo.
Christopher Walkiiin. Thanks Maynard, I’m gonna say that from now on.
Lmao
Walking Phoenix
Me too...as soon as it popped out of his pie hole.
Lmao. I just said I will be stealing that
@Atomic Duck lol yeah I was reminded of that by my friend we use to tease a guy name chris whenever we saw him walking.
as someone living in a rv out in the desert I enjoyed watching this - “hello sky”.. love the desert and all the trippiness behind it
Beck golden age is a splendid desert song
Just saw this masterpiece live on Saturday in New York. It was such a vibe ! What a great song .
That guitar held me tight in Arizona
I saw them in Michigan a few days before that. I want to go back.
The beginning has some serious Better Call Saul energy
Slow motion with barely any content yeah
Just commented the same definitely would have played him well
@@balprog MJK and Bob Odenkirk used to do improv together, he has been in a few puscifer things since then
Glad im not the only one thinking it was all good man!
I was thinking the same thing the suit humor luck deserts tequila and all!
I think it's funny that the Navy got actual footage of Maynard flying over in his Airstream I'm glad he released the video before the Pentagon did
I thought he was riding a magic toaster at first.
@@marshallsweatherhiking1820 I'm still not entirely convinced that it isn't a magic toaster😂
@@marshallsweatherhiking1820 omg it totally is the magic toaster shitteee
Leekz
I just signed up to the navy because I heard their technology is better than the rest
Darn it! Maynard's Talent and his Music has always hit a core within my head it's always a good ride when I experience his music makes Life livable and fine.👍
Love Maynard and all his project brands. Him Trent reznor and chino...Dave grohl...so blessed
Stop comparing him to these people there is no comparison
I would 100% watch a TV show following this character.
Yes, give him more ideas! 😁
Real talk, that is why I am super excited for Billy D and the Hall of Feathered Serpents this Saturday.
👀
A feature length film at least!🤣
I always wondered why he was owed so much he got an Airstream.
Love how the CGI is a throwback to the first Puscifer video, Queen B
Hell yeah, similar style to Man Overboard as well. Wasn't there a similar video for momma sed too?
@@laxku yes
Same animator. Meats Meier
Jason Levine thanks I did not know that , and I should cuz they talented as f
Maynard really really does whatevertheF he wants in this band with his crazyass humor, very nice to see and hear.
Maynard... Quentin Tarantino... We Need A Movie Together.... MAKE IT SO!
How bout them messages?
Del Toro too. Alice on Wonderland in the Matrix Movie.
hallelujah praise the almighty for this comment!!!!
and Michael palmisano...
I was just thinking something along the lines of, Maynard must be a huge Tarantino fan. Then I see this comment. 😆 🤣 😂
“Everyone’s trying to get to the bar, and the bar? The bar is called Heaven”
Talking Heads reference.
Also, Widespread Panic.
@@corey6393 no still just a talking heads reference lol
@@corey6393 yes, widespread panic does cover it, and covers it well. Heard em do it a couple times live. Honestly panic is my favorite band. Super excited to see it looking like we might get some shows finally.
This is phenomenal. It is visually v disturbing in a fantastic way, like a visual amusement park ride.very Ingeniously performed and written. This is the closest frequency I have ever heard to pick up what Pink Floyd was putting down. The music is a journey that consistently pleases the soul and entertains the mind, never falling victim to predictability or filler. The only negative thing that I could say is that , the visuals are so enthralling that the song is not given a fair fight for attention . The characters, costumes , dialogue, make up, and acting ability of the 2 main characters.......Pure Gold , my friends. They achieved some next level shit with this one.
Could cross pollinate with APC.
I don't need drugs to enjoy listening to Puscifer. I need Puscifer to enjoy doing drugs.
Second.
E once watched a documentary on hallucinogenics, it was wonderful. Now E watch everything that way. ;D
Amen!
I'm too old to eat drugs anymore. They keep me up all night in the wrong way:)
People that brag about their drug habbits in UA-cam comments are pure cringe
I love how this character is 180 degrees different than how Maynard comes across in interviews.
He seems so serious, focused, and driven as himself but his art allows him to release his inner funny weirdo with a degree of plausible deniability.
The circumstances of his early life put him in a dark place that was too much and unfair to a boy. He had to be serious and deal with the pain of his mother's condition when he should've been a fun loving kid.
It's like tears of the clown but in reverse order. We learned all about the tears first and now he finally gets to be the clown.
Love it from Sioux country
Seeing hilde and Billy Dee back it's like seeing old friends after a long time
Maynard be Cross-pollinating his projects. You could easily play Rosetta Stoned after watching this music video. XD
It’s ok, Tell me everything..
alrighty then, picture this if you will ... ;)
Haha, that actually works. Nice one

It is indeed a heavy burden to be the One
Best movie of 2021. This comes up on music mixes all the time and I end up watching it instead of just listening to it. Thanks to MJK and crew, you guys are awesome.
Perfect❤🎉
Maynard is one of the best musicians that has ever walked the face of earth without a doubt
Agreed
@@KeanSprout. And wine maker 😅
Man you dont have to be modest here, he is the best
Right. He has a way of dangling the carrot right before your eyes to where you’re not sure if you’re reading too much into it. I could’ve sworn I noticed some conspiratorial TOOL references among other things. Probably gotta listen a few more times just to be sure. In case I missed anything😅
*singer
"... I only did it that one time....huh Each!"🤣🤣🤣
What ever Maynard touches turns to gold!
I got this vinyl for Christmas and I can't stop listening to it
I'm a locomotive engineer sitting in the middle of the desert listening to this 2-11-24.....chooo chooo chooooo
"Looks like im about to take a bullet train to Iowaska soon."

Im about 5 miles away from meet uaska there

Chew.. chew.. chew..
@@swim_ad Its a double entendre in typical MJK style
I got a fever. And the only prescription there is is for more Christopher Walken jokes.
Bruce?? Where ya been
That little joke made me laugh too hard
I've always wanted to do some mescaline with Maynard, and go down the rabbit hole. Pussifur and tool have been such a life long staple, and there is no other band out there that can match its sounds. Much respect, u are all fine musicians, the best In fact. So cheers mate!!!!
I discovered this band recently and am so glad I did. Very underrated band I love all the instrumentals and vocalist is great. They all mesh very well.
If you like this band, you might like Tool and A perfect circle as well, they have the same singer, he is fantastic
Just like the album covers, everything Puscifer is essentially a high effort shitpost and I love it!
That's called a comedy skit. Not a shitpost.
Meh, potats potots @@aaronb2402
Reminds me a bit of A Perfect Circle. I've seen Puscifer twice in concert and both times were great.
Seeing Puscifer live makes a person understand and appreciate their work even more.
👀 Do you know APC has James Maynard Keenan in it too?
Can't wait to see him in 10 daze
Puscifer is one of the few bands I enjoy live way more than their album versions
i'd always been into tool and apc, but there were only a small handful of puscifer songs i cared for until i saw them live @ sonic temple this year. def right about the difference it makes, it's all i can listen to now lol
@@FK-lq8zfI would assume that’s thy they said it.
What I love about this song... Is everything
Everything he touches is gold and freedom ,no money.
Looks like a typical afternoon of Doug Stanhope walking some outgoing mail to his mailbox
"Bingo... bingo, dont hang up!"
@@cakelies 😂😂😂
@@billswathko5203 You talk like someone who HAS been punched in the face, but was too stupid to learn the lesson life gave him. Doug's a national treasure, you're just lame ol' Bill fuckin' Swathko.
Hahahahahaha
@@billswathko5203 Wow! Thanks so much for your reply, Bill. It's great hearing back from you, even if it has been 2 weeks. You'd think that'd be enough time to realize there's no real contextual difference between the two in this case, but that's okay.
Are you sure you're not talking, though? You seem like the type to narrate the things he types because he likes the sound of his own voice, almost as much as the smell of his own farts.
When Billy ordered two shots, the Lucha Libre wrestler to his left says, "why not just a double". That shows how deep this Bullet Train to Iowa goes. Fascinating.
Sorry to burst your fascination bubble, but it was the bartender that said that not the Lucha Libre.
@@stirl ua-cam.com/video/k3uBGONllfQ/v-deo.html
@@bidask123 @bidask123 Just because they used that angle doesn't mean he said it. We see the same angle multiple times.
"...and one for uhhhh... you too... Why not just a double? Hey, not judging cabrón"
This is all said by Clifton Collins Jr IMO.
If the Lucha Libre said "why not just a double" then the bartender saying "hey, not judging" wouldn't make much sense.
I may be wrong but this is my take on it.
Hey Maynard, would you please confirm?
@@stirl Okay, I looked at it once again. It is a continuity error in the video. Either way, no matter, it is entertaining.
@@stirl FUNNY! ALSO AWESOME TO SEE THAT MAYNARD CALLED UPON THE ACTING SERVICES OF HIS LOVELY FRIEND, "MANDY MUSE" AS A BLONDE! SHE'S SO HOT!
I don't know how I got here from watching funny pets videos but I'm happy to be here..
Fantastic video
The beginning is so hilarious love it
Best song on an already incredible album. It grabbed me right from day one and simply won't let go
As an Iowan, and a Maynard fan... this is exactly what I needed today.

“Christopher... Walking!”
“Begins to scoot them boots.”
I believe he's saying, Christopher Walken, in reference to the actor.
JT WoodBoyne yeah it’s a play on words ;)
I'll bet his puppies were growlin'
Needs more cow bell
Hell YEAH !!! BILLY D !!!!!!
I've never heard of this band before but this tune is a work of genius
Everything they do is amazing! I got started with conditions of my parole
Indigo children is pretty trippy!
Money Shot...that's the jam
Everything Maynard has ever done is genius! Seriously he must be one of the most talented artists that has ever lived!
The Remedy also
I might just be a fanboy, but I'm also never disappointed with Maynard's work
I'm old enough to remember the actual first day of MTV. Oh my how far we've gone
Yeah, I remember it too! The stupid Buggles "Video killed the radio star". They could have left that crap of the shelf in my opinion. I was waiting for Todd Rundgren's video "Time Heals". After that I split!
I remember that day. Was just over 20 years old. MTV was good for a few seconds then the whole music business became nothing more then a pre-planned advertisement of what's new fashion. That was in the mid 80s at that point, now it's not even about music by reality drama woke cultural rhetoric. "No more Hot for Teacher videos, now we have chicks with dicks instead..."
Maynard is the ride I never want to end
THE SPICE MUST FLOW
"Barbaks uhhee Bartesians" I don't know if this was intentional but, if so, what a lovely nod in cadence and delivery to Steve Martin.
It reminded me of Raoul Duke in Fear and loathing. Right when he checks in the first hotel: "... And this is my attorneyyyyyy??" And his attorney is gone. Sounds a bit the same! Gonna look your bit up also though!
Clifton Collins Jr as the bartender: “the way you keistered that roll of quarters...”
As if I didn't already fucking love that actor. Lmao... he's so fucking great
"Dropped the exact change" was the money shot for me...
Bartisan*
@@davidgomersall7185 I see what you did there...
Tack you cack!
Life was alot was different after a Pusifer show I can promiss that. Fuggen amazing job an I highly recommend to go see live when they go on tour an be ready for a hell of a great time thank you
I never could fully get into the Pus, but I love this one. And "Potions" was amazing too.
Yeah, ive avoided puscifer. But "Humbling River" is a good example of 90s style brilliance.
Conditions of my parole is really good too. Different than the others though.
There's a phenomenal live show at the rock ring in Germany, the live versions were so different, and brilliantly executed. You would appreciate that side of puscifer. It's an older show,
@@TheSopheom I would like to see them live. I believe you
@@pluckyduck11y you can watch it here on yt.
In my opinion, the element of humour is what makes Puscifer so good, other than the excellent and avant music, of course! The absurd and the profound, the yin-and-yang. Looking forward to the Money $hot livestream. Thank you for your art!
Well said. They deserve way more recognition than they get. Truly unique music.
Much like Caduceus Cellars and Merkin Vineyards. Caduceus: an Ancient Greek staff made by two intertwining serpents carried by the messenger god Hermes which represents healing. Merkin: a pubic wig historically worn by prostitutes as a method of concealing sexually transmitted infections. Following the likes of Bill Hicks, Maynard has often juxtaposed the sacred and the profane to great comedic effect.
Tool had an element of humor to it too, but I think it was ignored or went over people’s heads or something.
@@mboettcher349 Rosetta Stoned is the most Pusicifer Tool song
@@mboettcher349
Kind of like TON. When they were serious people thought they were joking and when they were joking, people thought they were serious. Me included
This and Singularity (and the whole damn album really) is some of the best music I've heard in a long time. I've actually taken the long way back to my house when I'm driving just to listen a little longer lol
Man of many talents
THIS COMPOSITION ACTUALLY HAS GREAT GUITAR, AND MAYNARD'S SAY BYE BYE IS INFECTIOUS, TO SAY THE LEAST...
the music , the voice, the arrangement: they are so good they bring me into a parallel dimension
Choo choo choo 💕💕
here comes the cowboy
MJK is my spirit animal, never made the Iowa train, but it's on my bucket list
i love everything about this.....
Years from now, kids will say they were born in the wrong decade. And we can say we grew up with Maynard
"Christopherrrrrr Walkin'." definitely saying that after any bad conversation I have on the phone from now on
Or when you have to walk somewhere?
I think it probably has more to do with walking.
you mean when you gotta walk
my, how the turn tables
Gotta fly to the Midwest in a couple of weeks, and this will be on my playlist
Saw him perform this live 3 days ago in KC for his 60th birthday. Maynard still rocks
Oh my god I haven't listened to Puscifer in yeeeears and I'm so glad he's still making music. This video is top-tier.
Played this on a jukebox in a bar, just 2 see wot the reaction wud be, think it spooked them, bunch left the bar, devilish inspired,
wud be their perception,
"I will leave a message, as the lady suggested after the beep"
Such a one of a kind voice and delivery.......truly amazing
I love watching and listening to Tool videos, albums covers and This Puscifer video while tripping/being enlightened. Maynard is brilliant!
Thank you Maynard and Puscifer for bringing us beautiful music and humor during these times. Yes you are creating MAGIC and healing us - getting us through these times - blessing our souls and putting a smile on our face and our souls... Cool to see you playing in the Desert. So many prophets come and go but you remain and continue to sing your songs of beauty
Well said...
@@23Nemesis Thank you :)
He’s the one prophet I’d welcome again and again, because he does create such beauty , while true to his inner shadow and conscious self yet willing to grow and adopt new ideas instead of rehashing old patterns that aren’t working ...
to still be relèvent to so many of us, for so long , and still kick ass as he’s brilliant old fart is truly a gift that not many Aquire or achieve if they do ...
glad I got to grow with him and his band mates 🥰
@@2189fallenangel This video really has me on Fire -- but then again Maynard and the amazing people he works with has a very powerful way of touching me and turning me back on - on a Spiritual and Intellectual level ~ :)
Puscifer never ceases to amaze me.
Thank you for making this song and video❤
I can't get over how damn good this is night after night!
I slept on Tool for years. Maynard is one talented SOB.
Sleeping on tools? That sounds pretty painful.
Good morning.
Try lying on your back
I have lived in a lot of places in my 58 years and I am truly blessed to be alive and living this wonderful life in IOWA USA 🇺🇸.
Go hawks
Resonates Very well
Best line in this song - "Gonna be a while till we touch back down." Too true.

"You never tipped us and had that roll of quarters in your ass the whole time". Great song, great humour.
Puscifer is everything I wanted tool and A Perfect Circle to be!
The time signatures in that drummer are bad ass! Maynard and friends knock another one out of the park!
8:19 "The Witness" by Adam Jones reference.
Yes, I saw that too!!
I feel like I noticed that subconciously or something but then when it was pointed out I was like yeah !
It's also a payback to the "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" joke. They traded volunteers for abductees.

I have some notebooks I wish Maynard would read. My dying wish is to hear how he would express my experience in his beautiful way. It contains a confessional, but needs to be updated.
He wouldn't give a fuck
This video and of course the song are just stunning!
Billie Eilish- "my videos are weird"
TooL- "hold my Puscifer"
hahaha
Best comment ever ever ever!!!
Billy Eyelash , who's he
I love how you can see the wireless mic on Maynard at the beginning
that was my favorite part of the whole video, by a real lot.
That's just his rectangular buttcheek.
I've listened to this song probably 100 times and 6:35 NEVER FAILS to send a chill down my spine... When I hear it loud on a system with a subwoofer, it's mind blowing....
Bro I read ur comment as 6:53 and was just about to reply to it saying the best part really starts at 6:35. Then right when I was typing it out I realized I was the dumb ass lol. Exactly what u said tho, same. Man I blast that part when the guitar bleeds so sick
All aboard!!! Let's ride.
