Okay, this one's a bit out there, but true to its inspiration. Read about the real tiler on Wikipedia.

The word is on the street -- It’s there in black and white
I pressed my point upon you as you waited for the light
Toynbee had it right, as I explained to Larry King
Humanity must be reborn to amount to anything

Kubrick laid it down
Right between the frames
Star child. Child star? Daisy! Daisy!

Resurrect dead on Planet Jupiter
Resurrect dead on Planet Jupiter
Resurrect dead on Planet Jupiter

Resurrect dead on Planet Jupiter
Resurrect dead on Planet Jupiter
Resurrect dead on Planet Jupiter
2001!

Kilgallen understood, as did Howard Hughes
Even Ronald Reagan was working for the Jews
Rosicrucians at Knight Ridder sanitize the news
They got to Casolaro before he lit the fuse

Ken Starr put ‘em down
Each and every one
Vince Foster. Jodi Foster. Jodi? Ah, Jodi!

(repeat chorus)

Mother Mary comes to me across a darkened room
The Wizard of Oz is synchronized to The Dark Side of the Moon
J Edgar has a glass of milk and rattles around his tomb
I stay in my apartment to avoid the union goons

We’ll meet on heaven’s shore
Or maybe Ganymede
Red spot. See Spot. Run!

(repeat chorus)
