    For one night I’m the hero.
    Suit up, tie.
    Open the door doors to the oval office. In this story I’m president.
    I’ve got happiness inside my pocket.
    It cost me 25 dollars.
    Maybe we could go halvies?
    So just gimme just a couple hours starting fires with soggy timber.
    Then, I’ll have the magic powers.
    Everybody here is catching smoke, looking for the ephemeral, swallowing the sun in a moonlit room, standing at the foot of a rainbow.
    Everybody here is catching smoke, looking for the ephemeral, riding on a Yellow-Bellied-Brown-Snake, sipping on hedonism.
    Give me 5 - it’s all I need to inscribe my epitaph while I float O.B.E. Am I dead or just paranoid?
    I’ve got happiness inside my pocket.
    It cost me 25 dollars.

    Catching smoke. Catching smoke. Catching smoke... Catching smoke. Catching smoke. Catching smoke...

    Catching smoke. Catching smoke. Catching smoke... Catching smoke. Catching smoke. Catching smoke...
    Not enough hours in the night to keep me on this stinking horse.
    Everyone’s rolling up pineapples, writhing in the space between it all.
    Long-live my decisions.
    Catching smoke. Catching smoke. Catching smoke... Catching smoke. Catching smoke. Catching smoke...

    I have been exploring the Gizzverse, the only thing I've been listening to for about two months. From Jazz to thrash metal. I know nothing in this comment will come as a surprise.
    If any band played this for me I wouldn't have issue with it, it's a good song. But it's distinctly the gizz.
    There are few bands out there that can change genre as seamlessly. King gizzard and the lizard wizard is the remedy to all the soulless studio music that ends up on the radio. This band creates art. Something the world's culture is in desperate need of.
    They have inspired me to create some beautiful things of my own, Leaning into my own failings to just have fun with it. They lean into their art find the fun, and inspire others. Art by definition is not good or bad, it simply invokes a feeling, gets your mind to think. I'm gonna go catch some smoke.

If this song reaches a high level of popularity in the world what would be the meaning of the rising of the business and culture of stupidity, violence, gansta and hipersexualized audiovisuals ?. Much money in this game and acculturation to allow songs like this in the charts.
