Verse 1
(G minor) Alright,
this next track is (E minor) uh
(G minor) When you look at the re
(G major) cord anyway it's (F major) called
"The Wiz (D major) ard Turns (F sharp major) On"
And then when (E minor) you, uh
Look further at the lyrics
sheet or something
You will see (E major) the ridiculously (D sharp major) (E minor) long title
Verse 2
It says: "The Wizard Turns (D sharp major) On The
Gi (F major) ant Silver (E minor) Flashlight
And Puts (E major) on His Werewolf
Moccasins"
(G major) And we feel like it probably could've
just (E major) gone on forever
And told like a novel length
story
Something like "The Lord of The
(D major) Rings" or something like (E major) that
My (D major) god, man
Um, (E major) and this is, uh
New- Play with audio & scroll

Verse 3
I think this is a weird (A minor) part of the record
It (D major) seems like it's really sort of a depar
(E minor) ture from the mood of what
Some of the others (A minor) bits
of the record will be about
(E minor) But to me this is really what I think is the
Sort of the heart and soul
(A minor) of the (E minor) new direction
That (A minor) we thought we were trying
(D major) to forge ahead in
Where it sort of (G major) feels a little bit like
Verse 4
(A minor) Black Sabbath
Maybe like a little (E minor) bit of Herbie Hancock
It feels like (D major) an (A minor) ob vious nod
Into (G major) sort of like (E minor) space (A minor) rock territory
Not quite prog rock,
only I think there's a little bit of (E minor) that
Just strangely funky
Strangely kind of (A minor) almost (E minor) dissident rock
Verse 5
And (A minor) for some (E minor) reason being able to
play that flute so (A minor) lo (G major)
(E minor) Right next to that (G major) guitar solo
Feels like it could've come
(B minor) from a (B major) Stooges record
From (D major) their first record or something
(E minor) It really was (G major) kind of, (D major) I thought really it was a fun,
weird, new mo (E minor) ment
And when we stumbled upon these
sorts of (G major) things
When we're record (B major) ing
We don't always (D major) know Is it great, is
Verse 6
(E minor)
it horrible, is it anything?
(D major) And (A minor) sometimes that makes (D major) you think
(E minor) Oh,
that's (D major) why we should put it on the record
Because even for (E minor) us it feels
"What is this (G major) band? Who's playing
Verse 7
this?"
(B minor) So yeah I think, and again,
I always feel like our instrumentals give you a break
From listening to me (G major) sing all
the time
Even though now I'm
(E minor) talking over it
But the idea is like,
you don't always have to
Paying that much attention to me
singing all the time
(A minor) So (E minor) yeah, it just gives you
Verse 8
a little break from singing melodies
And listening to words
And just gets to jam (G major) out
And (E minor) if you want to you can take
ten hits of acid
And check this song out, right?
