If that means anything to you. It's called "The World Looks Red". It's a song we wrote. I don't know if I remember the words. The words were written by this guy, um..Michael Gira, who sings with this band called Swans, some friends of ours. So I don't really know what it's about, but the words are pretty good. Ready? Push it away, the world looks red, people with fish eyes, the ground sucks. Wait wait, wait!" [indistinct stage chatter while Kim starts droning E string] "Alright, I forgot the words, let's go!"
