They are not stars / Burning in the sky at night / No roman candles / In astral flight / They are not men / Walking on the streets below / What are they really / Nobody knows / / They are not stars / We are not human / I don’t know the the reason why / A firefly is not a candle / Not a flower in my eye / And so a rose is not a rose / By that or any other name / Things remain Unexplained / / I am a tree / Dancing on the ocean floor / The air is water / On desert shores / There is a face / painted on the salty moon / The tree is singing / This silent tune: / / They are not stars / We are not human / I don’t know the the reason why / A firefly is not a candle / Not a flower in my eye / And so a rose is not a rose / By that or any other name / Things remain Unexplained

was this the last recording from the original pups?
It remains one of my alltime faves from the band.
Thanx again.

Meat Puppets é a melhor banda do mundo. Sou do Brazil e sou fã da banda. O som de voce chegou aqui. Muito louco, e tomara que voces voltem a tocar junto algum dia e aqui no Brazil tambem.
Meat Puppets is the best band of the world. No doubt. I like very much.
