Biography:
The Butthole Surfers are an American band founded by Gibby Haynes and Paul Leary in Corpus Christi, Texas in 1981. Incorporating elements of hardcore punk, psychedelia, heavy metal, avant-garde and performance art, their live shows also made heavy use of strobe lights, background films (of note, footage of penis reconstruction surgery) and naked dancers. The band has a well-reported appetite for recreational drugs, particularly psychedelics, an evident influence on their sound.

Gotta get a bike and I gotta paint it red

Three feet deep in a slow motion wreck
D E
I was walkin' the walk an' I was talkin' to the best
A E
I was wrinkled an' shriveled an' steppin' out of line
D E
Playin' the end against the middle an' losin' every time
A E
I was veinious an' heinious an' cripple an' sad
D E
Thought I was invincible, the baddest of the bad

Then I woke up one mornin' and stepped out of bed
D E
Had to get a bike. Had to paint it red

[Verse 3]
A E
Staring at disbelief out at the gloom

Then one day I was playing at the gig
D E
An' in walked the monkey with a couple of funky friends

"You're gonna get a bike. You're gonna paint it blue."
