The song “Modern Art” is about an experience Black Lips frontman Alexander Cole once had where he took ketamine and saw a bunch of art museums.
[Verse 1]
K-Hole at the Dalí
Seeing the unknown
Well I might have been on molly
Because my mind's being blown
Take the escalator to the next floor
Such a strong sedater, now I can't find the door
[Chorus]
You turn around
And you don't know where you been
And you look up at the glass dome
And the room begins to spin
Let's go out and find the ocean
Cause I think we need a swim
Turn around, start it over, let's begin
[Verse 2]
Like the Minis at the Louvre
Spinning down the aisles
And the paintings start to move, got me feelin' really smart
Like a 3D picture, stereoscope
It's a total light picture, kaleidoscope
[Chorus]
You turn around
And you don't know where you been
And you look up at the glass dome
And the room begins to spin
Let's go out and find the ocean
Cause I think we need a swim
Turn around, start it over, let's begin
[Verse 3]
At the K-Hole at the Dali
Seeing the unknown
Well I might have been on molly
Because my mind's being blown
[Chorus]
You turn around
And you don't know where you been
And you look up at the glass dome
And the room begins to spin
Let's go out and find the ocean
Cause I think we need a swim
Turn around, start it over, let's begin
