Lyrics:

Anthony is singing about Michigan, the place he was born and lived his early years before moving to California.
The guitar solo is performed by Omar Rodriguez-Lopez of The Mars Volta and At the Drive-In.
Life is my friend, rake it up to take it in
Wrap me in your cinnamon, especially in Michigan
Well, I could be your friend
White clouds, I'm in a mitten full of fisherman
Come on, Huckleberry Finn, show me how to make her grin
Well, I'm in Michigan

Cry me a future where the revelations run amok
Ladies and gentlemen
Lions and tigers come runnin' just to steal your luck, uh-uh-uh-uck

A rainy Lithuanian, who's dancin' as an Indian
Painted in my tiger skin, especially in Michigan
Double chins and bowling pins, unholy Presbyterians
Land is full of medicine, I'll find it when I'm slippin' in
The tainted new librarian, who fainted when she tucked you in
All into Michigan
Float away like zeppelins on stoic gusts of Northern wind

Cry me a future where the revelations run amok
Ladies and gentlemen
Lions and tigers come runnin' just to steal your luck, uh-uh-uh-uck
Out on the farm, we'll be swimmin' with the mother duck
Deep in the mitten where
Lions and tigers come runnin' just to steal your luck, uh-uh-uh-uck


Life is my friend, underwater violins
Order now from Ho Chi Min, porcelain that comes in twins
Throw me in the loony bin, 'cause I can take it on the chin
When I’m in Michigan
Cleavage of your pillow skin is moving like a violin

Cry me a future where the revelations run amok
Ladies and gentlemen
Lions and tigers come runnin' just to steal your luck, uh-uh-uh-uck
Out on the farm, we'll be swimmin' with the mother duck
Deep in the mitten where
Lions and tigers come runnin' just to steal your luck, uh-uh-uh-uck

Yeah...
