See you knackered but oblivious

Call an ambulance, she's turning blue.

APC released a DVD/CD package entitled 'aMOTION'. During Maynard's commentary on the (contest winner) video for 'Blue', he quotes the song's lyrics as 'Call an optimist, she's turning blue.' I have yet to come across a lyric site that doesn't list 'Call it aftermath, she's turning blue' as the correct words.
Callin' after me, she's turning blue.
Call it aftermath, she's turning blue.
Calling out the munchies. Turning blue...
Call it aftermath, she's turning blue.
Cutting off the machine, she's turning blue.
Call it aftermath, she's turning blue.

Marcel Marso, my self esteem a dollar at a time
I'd sell my soul, my self esteem a dollar at a time
Can I carve away, clear away
Slip away deliver this insidious pregnatude
that's keeping me from healing you.
Gotta cut away, clear away, snip away and sever this umbilical residue,
that's keepin' me from killing you.
Don't wanna feel this overwhelming austerity.
Don't wanna feel this overwhelming hostility.
Gotta cut away clear away
slipping into celibus and billy cull
as I do keeping me from killing you
Gotta cut away, clear away
snip away and sever this umbilical residue
that's keeping me from killing you
Gotta get away, clear away, slip away and salivate.
Gotta cut away, clear away, snip away and sever this.
She's never wearing celery.
Slip away and sever this.
She's never wearing celery.
Snip away and sever this.

Bend over this table.
Been over this before.
Counting bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the wardrobes.
Counting bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums.
Lay your head down child
I won't let the boogeyman come
'Cause your body's like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums
Pay no mind to the rebel
Pay no mind to the rebel.
Lay your head down child
I won't let the boogeyman come
Counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums
Pay no mind to the rabble
Pay no mind to the rabble.
Poundin' bodies with Pete and his n*****s down at Nordstrom's.
Counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums.
Pounding booties like pee to the thick duck at the porn hub
Counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums.

Grow libido, flow down my nose in indiscretion.
Grow libido, throw dominoes of indiscretions.

Everyone will have his day to die.
If you choose to pull the trigger
Shoot your jaw off, prove sincere.

Should your drama prove sincere?

La-dee to get what I came for.
Lie to get what I came for.
Taking a poo

Drinking a beer

Thinking of you
Suckin' her bud, a little lever that makes that,
unmistakable noise I was hearing
Something about a little evil that makes that,
unmistakable noise I was hearing
Thinking a view
Thinking of you
Away from it
Floating away

That's Billy Howerdel over there.
So weak and powerless over you.
Another Maynard-ism at a live show, only performed once (11-9-03) where instead of the chorus (and with Billy's own backup vocals as well) he sang Billy Howerdel, and pointed. After the song, he apologized.
