Description
This song was originally intended for the MacJams Reunion thing - I was trying to recreate a song from my first year - well, as is usually the case, I get carried away with the development of the melodies and I forget what I'm doing and the song turns into something far from the original. I like when that happens usually, but I wish I could stick with my plan rather than going with the flow every single time.
Do I always get this side tracked? Yes I do.
Song Description: I was investigating the faith of Noah, the infamous ship builder/animal lover/man who found favor in God's eyes... I found it to be so fascinating and I thought about how difficult it must've been to be the only man on earth who believed in God. I thought about what Noah might've thought about while he sat in a boat waiting to be delivered...
As my mind twisted, I imagined a couple being afloat in the sea for a long time and waiting to be rescued, waiting for helicopters to rescue them. After many days, weeks at sea, clinging to wreckage, he starts to think she's crazy. He thinks she's at a bus stop waiting for helicopters....

Lyrics
YOU WAIT FOR HELICOPTERS
AT THE BUS STOP, BABY
I TRY TO UNDERSTAND
YOU’RE MUMBLING
I THINK YOU’RE CRAZY
YOUR WORDS THEY FILL MY HEAD
WITH QUESTIONS AND CONFUSION
NO HELICOPTERS YET
YOU ARGUE THAT IT’S NO DELUSION
YOU WEAR ME OUT
YOU KNOCK ME DEAD
YOU KEEP YOUR EARS
OUTSIDE YOUR HEAD
ALL COVERED UP
WITH YOUR TWO HANDS
YOU KICK MY WORDS LIKE KICKING CANS
THE TWO OF US ARE STRANGERS
BABY, ON A RAFT AT SEA
RESCUED THE GIRL IN YOU
BUT STRANDED IS THE BOY IN ME
YOU WAIT FOR HELICOPTERS
AT THE BUS STOP, BABY
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND
THE MUMBLING
AS IF YOU’RE CRAZY
YOUR WORDS THEY FILL MY HEAD
WITH QUESTIONS AND CONFUSION
NO HELICOPTERS YET
YOU ARGUE THAT IT’S NO DELUSION
YOU WORE ME OUT
LEFT ME FOR DEAD
YOU KEEP YOUR FEARS
OUTSIDE YOUR HEAD
ALL COVERED UP
WITH YOUR TWO HANDS
YOU PICK MY WOUNDS LIKE KICKING CANS
THE TWO OF US ARE STRANGERS
BABY, ON A RAFT AT SEA
I SEE THE GIRL IN YOU
BUT YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW IT’S ME
OUTRO
NO HELICOPTERS, BABY.....
NO HELICOPTERS YET
THE SKY LIGHTS UP
YOU CRAZY LADY
DON’T WANT TO UNDERSTAND
YOU’RE MUMBLING
YOU’RE CRAZY, BABY
NO HELICOPTERS YET
THE SKY LIGHTS UP
YOU CRAZY LADY
NO HELICOPTERS...
NO HELICOPTERS....
AT THE BUS STOP, BABY
I TRY TO UNDERSTAND
YOU’RE MUMBLING
I THINK YOU’RE CRAZY
YOUR WORDS THEY FILL MY HEAD
WITH QUESTIONS AND CONFUSION
NO HELICOPTERS YET
YOU ARGUE THAT IT’S NO DELUSION
YOU WEAR ME OUT
YOU KNOCK ME DEAD
YOU KEEP YOUR EARS
OUTSIDE YOUR HEAD
ALL COVERED UP
WITH YOUR TWO HANDS
YOU KICK MY WORDS LIKE KICKING CANS
THE TWO OF US ARE STRANGERS
BABY, ON A RAFT AT SEA
RESCUED THE GIRL IN YOU
BUT STRANDED IS THE BOY IN ME
YOU WAIT FOR HELICOPTERS
AT THE BUS STOP, BABY
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND
THE MUMBLING
AS IF YOU’RE CRAZY
YOUR WORDS THEY FILL MY HEAD
WITH QUESTIONS AND CONFUSION
NO HELICOPTERS YET
YOU ARGUE THAT IT’S NO DELUSION
YOU WORE ME OUT
LEFT ME FOR DEAD
YOU KEEP YOUR FEARS

YOU CRAZY LADY
NO HELICOPTERS...
NO HELICOPTERS....

Very cool! It reminds me of something between DEVO and the Talking Heads. That synth noise that panned around at about 2:00 was freaky. Nice one!
