“Flossie Dickey Bounce” is named after supercentenarian Flossie Dickey. When interviewed in early 2016 for her 110th birthday, she stated, “I am tired”.
Dickey passed away on November 23, 2016, almost two months after the release of Mothership.
[Chorus: Jon Mess]
Cocaine
Cocaine cringe fest

[Verse 1: Tilian]
Ooh, wow
You're looking dirty, need a champagne shower now
Lay down, let's see if we can get the lipstick to come out
[Refrain: Jon Mess]
I know just the thing, the thing to say
I got just the- just the song to play
Free your mind from, from the cage
I can talk a mile a minute
Cracked out, snap out of it
I don't care, I'm in it
Cracked out, snap out of it
Mo blow, wow
[Chorus: Jon Mess]

[Verse 2: Tilian]
We tried, no luck, it's all right
Trust me, honey, you look fine
I'll just walk around the city telling chickens that I'm pretty
And I'd love for them to meet my wife
[Refrain: Jon Mess, Tilian]
I know just the thing, the thing to say
I got just the- just the song to play
Free your mind from, from the cage
I can talk a mile a minute
Cracked out, snap out of it
I don't care, I'm in it
Cracked out, snap out of it
Mo blow (Wow)
[Bridge: Tilian]
And if we move too slow
Let it rot, decay, and decompose
If we just let it flow, the fairy dust could tap out
'Cause I'm a rolling stone
Never been tied down in one place too long
King of the lonely road, it's all I've ever known
[Outro: Tilian]
Make your move tonight
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
C-c-c-close your eyes, don't fight it anymore
And when the sun comes up, we won't be wondering what
Could have been, should have been
Ma-ma-ma-make your move tonight
Make your move tonight
Flossie Dickey Bounce was written by Will Swan & Matt Mingus & Tim Feerick & Jon Mess & Tilian.
Flossie Dickey Bounce was produced by Kris Crummett.
Dance Gavin Dance released Flossie Dickey Bounce on Fri Oct 07 2016.
In a Reddit AMA, Jon Mess talked about the song:
the song is about doing cocaine and being a douche then waking up in the morning and cringing about all the stupid conversations you had
Like many of the titles on Mothership, the title “Flossie Dickey Bounce” doesn’t immediately make song with the lyrical content. In an interview post on The Noise, guitarist Will Swan explains this title.
This one I named. I think Jon added bounce to it though. I just wanted to call it Flossie Dick...
