we're all going on a trip (to the mattress store mix)

A surreal cinematic poem blending spoken word, psychedelic storytelling, and absurdist humor, The sound begins with ominous whispers and cinematic tension, evoking werewolves and melting cars, then shifts into hypnotic dream‑trap textures with looping chants of “dream, dream, dream, ” The chorus hits with ironic frustration over a 30‑year‑old mattress, layered in glitchy samples and distorted vocals, Midway, the track morphs into a cosmic quest: cowboy phonk-synth cartoon vocals, and trippy‑trap horns collide in chaotic energy, The “Banana Crew of the Apocalypse” refrain becomes a chant backed by heavy drums and playful synth Spoken word tangents unravel over lo‑fi beats, then explode into sci‑fi synths and UFO atmospherics, A zombie invasion section adds frantic percussion and distorted crowd noise, climaxing in a shouted outro: “The future is all wrong, ” The piece is experimental, theatrical, and genre‑bending—equal parts hyphy, trip‑hop, cosmic vapor, surreal cinematic poetry

V4.5-ALL

[Intro] Well ..what do you want me to sing? That this is the song of a werewolf? That man is hunting down his own kind? That someone you know sitting right here in this room is a wolf?

[Verse] I swear to you, pal He just threw it on the ground The whole thing just Like Melted into the ground You mean to tell me that there's .. There's something out there that can melt an entire car (“He's out there!”) What? A creature? Are you saying it was a creature? Is that what you're saying? (Man ..?)

[Poem] It just melted into the ground You are no longer the protector of men You are no longer the god Man We will fight the gods And we will win

[Chorus] a mattress over 30 years old This can't be right This cannot be my life Is this how I'm gonna sleep? [sample] (Is this how I'm gonna sleep?)

[Verse] It's like a string around my finger A dream you try to remember Or maybe it never happened This could all be a dream The minute it takes to dream But still I dream

[Bridge] So Dream Dream Dream Dream along with me

[Pre-Chorus] We're all going on a trip

[Verse] It's not a metaphor When I say I see asleep people I know it sounds surreal But hear me out I went to the mattress store the other day, you know the one Sleep Traincar or Mattress Cloudship, or that Love Basket, You know Eyes wide shut type stores Anyway I met a dude The guy said his name was Hank But I thought I recognized him from somewhere He was wearing a leather jacket and chewing on a toothpick He had this deep Gravelly voice And a thousand-yard stare Just like the folks at the V.A He said he'd been on a trip for years He told me he was a chemist Said he went to a bad place A kind of night gallery of his own design His vision went blurry And the colors were surreal His mind melted like taffy So he came to the hospital for treatment And never left But he still had hope for me And he said

[Chorus] We're all going on a trip [sample] (We're all going on a trip)

[Post-Chorus] They call it the Banana Crew of the Apocalypse

[Bridge 2] And they say A UFO had crash-landed one day In the San Fernando Valley In a dark and narrow alley And the cowboy from out west Had gone there with his friends on a quest And that's when he met an alien named Lou Lou said ("I want to go home Back to a galaxy far Far away") And the cowboy from out west said ("Okay Okay") Lou said ("I can help you But first You have to find the enchanted banana From which your hat was made") And the cowboy from out west said ("Okay Okay")

[Chorus] We're all going on a trip [sample] (We're all going on a trip)

[Post-Chorus] They call it the Banana Crew of the Apocalypse

[Verse] So the cowboy from out west Took his hat and the rest of the Banana Crew gang And they went on a quest To find the enchanted banana They ran into the mafia The mafia was after the same thing They had followed the same legend They also wanted the Banana Crew The cowboy from out west said ("You can have my banana When you pry it from my mildly warm hands while I sleep probably because since I am human I need to sleep at some point and that is probably when you can feasibly take my banana but you probably already knew that and I am just rambling now I apologize I apologize I apologize for that you know how things go when you get carried away on a tangent that feels like the more you talk the more profound and important you sound and then you start to ..") Then the mafia made a move And that's when it happened The cowboy's words distracted him from himself and the mafia stole his banana mid tangent The cowboy's banana was goners That's when Lou The alien Showed up Lou saved the day And that's when the Banana Crew gang learned That Lou was actually an android The cowboy from out west said ("I thought I told you to stay in the car") Lou said ("What can I say? I have a hard time following directions") Lou and the Banana Crew gang Then escaped the mafia and went on their way They were still on a quest to find the enchanted banana But there was a twist The mafia was working for the government They were under the employ of the president of the United States He had also heard about the enchanted banana

[Hook] One banana for the devil And another for the eater on the road (A banana for the devil And another for the eater on the road) bananas! bananas!!

[Poem] The man ran to a city street Found a zombie invasion And it made him ask ("Why are all these zombies trying to eat me?")

[Pre-Chorus] All wrong All wrong

[Spoken Word] ("Run You fools Run!")

[Outro] "I have just returned from the future And the future is all wrong"
