| Lyrics | Visuals |
|---|---|
| {incomplete} | {incomplete} |
| The color of infinity inside an empty glass | Black-and-white film style. Strong Sad is looking through a glass of ice water on a table in front of him. The view gradually zooms out to reveal a bare bulb hanging from the ceiling behind him. At the end of the zoom, Strong Sad makes a sighing motion. |
| I'm squinting my eye and turning off | Strong Sad is standing in front of an ATM in The Field. The left edge of the film reel is exposed. Strong Sad hesitantly raises his finger towards the keypad on the ATM. |
| and on and on and off the light | The ATM screen fills the frame, with Strong Sad's reflection visible and the words "CHECK BALANCE??" flashing on it. For a brief moment, the view switches to an extreme close-up of Strong Sad's eye, which snaps shut in a sort of flinch. |
| It's for this experimental film | The left edge of the film reel is exposed in the middle of the frame, leaving a large amount of white space on the left side. Strong Sad is standing in The Field on the right, watching the exposed sprocket holes go by. |
| Which nobody knows about, and which | Gradual zoom-in on a close-up of Strong Sad's face, wearing a vacant expression and looking at something just below the camera. The flashing text "CHECK BALANCE??" is somehow reflected on his forehead. |
| I'm still figuring out what's going to go | A bare lightbulb swings back and forth in front of the camera, while a pencil drawing of a lightbulb is projected over it. |
| In my experimental film | Strong Sad is filming himself in a mirror with what looks like a Super-8 camera. A bare bulb hangs at the top-left of the frame. Near the end of the shot, Strong Sad opens the eye that isn't pressed to the eyepiece, and blinks twice. |
| Yeah, you're all gonna be in this experimental | Switch to Powered By The Cheat style. The tentacle skull rides an old bicycle across a football field, while the people in the stands flip a series of large signs to show "YEAH!", a coffee cup, and a mountain scene. |
| film, And even though I can't | The PBTC head-tops of John Flansburgh and John Linnell appear against a mountain-scene backdrop. A speech bubble appears over Flansburgh saying "yeah.", which is soon replaced by another one coming from Linnell and saying "film." |
| explain it | A very chaotic scene briefly flashes up, involving a large green horse-like silhouette with a red banner reading "YEAH!" hanging over its back. |
| I already know how | Switch to black-and-white film style. Strong Sad's head fills the frame once again, but this time the flashing text "MAKE DEPOSIT??" is reflected on his head. |
| great it's | Switch to Powered By The Cheat style. A series of different-sized ATMs appears on an arctic landscape with an igloo in the background. Each ATM screen bears a single letter, with the series spelling out "EXPERIMENTALFILM". The entire row of ATMs flashes twice, and a penguin pokes its head out of a small patch of water in the lower-left of the frame. |
| I already know the ending, It's the part that | Switch to black-and-white film style. Strong Sad is wearing a shaving cream beard and looking at himself in the mirror. He lifts a razor to his face, then sighs and puts it down without doing anything. |
| makes your face implode | Switch to an animated pen drawing of a coffee cup and a drumstick on yellow lined paper. The drumstick hits the surface of the coffee three times, once for every beat that occurs during this scene. |
| I don't know what makes your face | Back to black-and-white film style. Strong Sad is front and center, dressed as the Grim Reaper, complete with scythe. Both edges of the film reel are exposed. |
| implode, But that's | Again, both edges of the film are exposed. Grim Reaper Strong Sad and regular Strong Sad are looking at each other in The Field by way of a rather obvious split-screen technique. |
| the way the movie ends | Switch to animated pen drawings on white lined paper. A framed picture of a man with his head turned away is visible, with the script "Our Gracious Host" written underneath it. The man in the picture briefly turns to look forward, then turns back as the camera zooms in on him. |
| And in my experimental film | Switch to a muffin sitting on a table, in
the background, a window is seen, showing a rising and stting sun.On the table,a flower blooms out of a flower pot. |
