Over and Over and Over by Jack White

The Sisyphean dreamer
My fibula and femur
Hold the weight of the world
(Over and over)
I think, therefore I die
Anxiety and I, rolling down a mountain
(Over and over)

My shoulder holds the weight of the world

Yeah, the wind is blowing
Volcanoes blowing, my lungs are blowing
(Over and over)
Who could not win the mistress, wooed the maid
With no sign of a grave
(Over and over)
(Over and over)
(Oh yeah)

Hollow body
Wine belly perfidy
Move like Isotta Fraschini
(Over and over)
The rock 'n' roller, the young and older
Rolling back to the stroller
(Over and over)

And although you warned me
The gods have all scorned me now

The wind is blowing
Volcanoes blowing, my lungs are blowing
(Over and over)
Who could not win the mistress, wooed the maid
With no sign of a grave
(Over and over)
(Over and over)

(Over and over)

And I'm punished for the passion
Only telling 'cause you're asking
And I'm a glutton for the tasking

And the lovers are drowning
And they're never gonna find 'em
'Cause theirs ego's gonna blind 'em
(Over and over)

Woo!

Yeah, my shoulder on a boulder
Holds the weight of the world
(Yeah)

Oh, the wind is blowing
Volcanoes blowing, my lungs are blowing
(Over and over)
Who could not win the mistress, wooed the maid
With no sign of a grave
(Over and over)

My shoulder holds the weight of the world
(Over and over)
(Over and over)

The Sisyphean dreamer
My fibula and femur
Hold the weight of the world
(Over and over)
I think, therefore I die
Anxiety and I, rolling down a mountain
(Over and over)
(Over and over)

And although you've warned me
The gods have all scorned me now


THERE'S LOTS OF STUFF THAT HAPPENS OVER AND OVER AND OVER... FOR INSTANCE... ABOUT ONCE OR TWICE A YEAR I HAVE A NIGHTMARE THAT I AM SOMEHOW IN THE TRAINING CENTER FOR ANOTHER MISSION... I AM LAYING IN MY BUNK THINKING, AS I DID ON THE FIRST NIGHT OF MY REAL MISSION, WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING HERE? HOW DO I GET OUT OF THIS? MY MISSION WAS 25 YEARS AGO... IT APPARENTLY STILL FILLS MY SUBCONSCIENCE WITH HORROR.

That camera operator sure did get a lot of practice doing that camera move! You can make it though the entire video if you mute the audio, but I don’t really recommend it. There is no payoff. Just lots of blue paint and friends of the band members wearing silly costumes.

This sounds like a mixture of Korn and the soundtrack to Flash Gordon

The video is bizarre and blue

I'd never heard of Isotta Fraschini before, so that was fun

I liked the White Stripes, they had some good tunes

'Hotel Yorba' is a catchy one

His solo stuff is hit or miss, but he's got the skills
