Whimsical, a pen in motion, thoughts roll in my mind,
scamper by so quickly now an agile word would find,
well I tried to grasp an angel, saw her wings, and watched her fly
reality for mingling dreams to scurry back and get in line.

We ordered out for mindless dribble,
over used, half wit, ishkabibble,
corner store junkies giving advice
we ordered out for paradise.

A gallery, a pen in motion, a delightful line instead,
it's chivalry outranks commotion on the roads most common tread,
and on those boots, the clicking heels, the dreams, the angel starts to fly,
to masquerade the world's parade for only seconds at a time.

We ordered out for mindless dribble,
over used, half wit, ishkabibble,
corner store junkies giving advice
we ordered out for paradise.

Apple butter toast is nice,
envisioned on a third wind twice,
my fine breaded friend was denied by the vice,
And they missed the perfume.

In a native centered world, one picks the fruit right off the trees,
on a wild blue island in the deep blue seas,
beyond a paleocentric world with all our people shaped in threes,
the only way I get around is some mild insanity.

We ordered out for mindless dribble,
over used, half wit, ishkabibble,
corner store junkies giving advice
we ordered out for paradise.

Apple butter toast is nice,
envisioned on a third wind twice,
my fine breaded friend was denied by the vice,
and they missed the perfume.

after intro, the chord they hit is a F# major played
on the 2nd fret.
They keep hitting this until you get to the next part, which is the part
during the verse too.

the way barber plays this kinda has this shuffle feel to it. the chords dont really sustain at all. for best
results don't press down all the way on the strings
to keep it from sounding too loud, avoiding the heavy
pick attack sound.

Beyond a paleocentric world with all our people shaped in threes, The only way I get around is with some mild insanity.

The first debut of 1998, Mindless Dribble signalled an important shift in the band’s style and songwriting maturity. It’s challenging lyrics and aggressive style placed it in contrast to the faux-hippie neo-psychedelia of 97-95.

The first few performances of Dribble were completely free of improv, but within a little more than a month the band was beginning to carve out the song’s nascent jam section. There is a tremendous observable growth throughout the year, with at least one must-hear version, 12/30/98 (also noteworthy as the first "happy" Dribble). Other noteworthy early versions include 4/18/98 and 5/2/98.

The song became a major jam vehicle in 1999, the year where most of the strongest versions can be found. The jam section remained fairly standard throughout the year, with a few notable deviations, e.g. the demented, primal 10/28/99 and the fairly blissful 12/30/99 (another "happy" Dribble). The song remained strong through 2000, with noteworthy versions including 10/31/00 (the longest version to date) and 10/6/00, in which the chord progression that eventually gave rise to The Big Happy, Highwire, and I Remember When was debuted.

Dribble remained a strong selection in 2001, with the split-up "happy" Dribble from 3/31/01 widely regarded as one of the best. The song also underwent some important developments in this year. On 4/20/01 (fittingly) the “dub” version of Mindless Dribble was debuted, a part of the larger trend of dubbed versions of Biscuits songs that swept up both I-Man and Floodlights during April 2001. Later in the year, the song became the vehicle for the composed jam that would eventually become known as Strobelights and Martinis. Beginning on 9/1/01, and continuing through the month, every Dribble (with the exception of 9/21/01) would bear the hallmarks of this jam. The section was briefly reprised again in April 2003 and occasionally after Strobelights was debuted as its own song.

Although Dribble remained a staple of the catalog, its appearance grew less frequent in 2.0. It was never shelved, and was often split up to keep it interesting. When not split up, Dribble often fell into predictable patterns that made it less interesting than it had been in the 1.0 era (though exceptions to this rule exist--most notably the Red Rocks Dribble of 5/29/10).

Dribble continued to be a common presence throughout the setbreak era, being played, on average, around once every five or six shows (the striking exception to this is in 2018, when, excluding the dub version from Camp Bisco, Dribble was only played once the entire year). The song had a major renaissance during the "Setbreak is Over" tour of fall 2019. 11/16/19 and 11/17/19 each feature half of a strong split version, and arguably the strongest full version played with Allen took place on 12/13/19.

Walkin' like a widow in the rain
Every day is another day gone by

Capsule dreams & capsule eyes
Houses glowing brightly up in flames
So I take this chance and close my eyes

Walking down the avenue, a taxi in the road
I guess this must be time to hitch a ride
Can't forget the voices of the things that I've been told
It's not to say in time I haven't tried

Underneath the white streetlight,
Walkin' like a widow in the rain
Every day is another day gone by

Corners scraped and pulvarized,
Passion beats a heart of (?) pain
So I do my best to galvanize

Someday I'll be better, like myself of old
Someday I'll be better than before
Caught in a vendetta, but left out in the cold
There's simply just no room for anymore

Underneath the white streetlight,
Walkin' like a widow in the rain
Every day is another day gone by

I hope this song will make me sane,
I hope these words will rationalize my life
But still tomorrow brings another day

The love that I gave easy, but sold for nothing more

I'm bored, so I figured I'd give all the bass players in the house a
little finger workout.....I've got some more of this tabbed, but it's
trapped on my crippled computer....might drop it at a later date.

It's the bass melody toward the beginning, which is a recurring theme on
all three instruments throughout. You can play it as is on guitar, but
it would definitely not be the ideal position. I leave it to you to
figure out what would be.

Well I put you on a pedestal
I want to see you all the time
The light surrounds your inner innocence
With darkness never far behind

You ought to teach me your philosophy
and life is always on your mind
You can't wake up from last night's decadence
and you still had a good time

You want to talk about our governments
Well I don't think I have the time
You did your part on the environments
It was only in the sand where I saw you draw the line

You always like to live extravagance
You always like to wine and dine
So now you come out of my leatherback
You poke your head out for a while

Caterpillar asleep in the bathtub
Berry always wake in the sink
Butterfly arrive in the bedroom
Beauty fly away on a wing

You can't believe that you have to pay your rent
Why don't you find some man to buy
I can't believe I take my vitamins
But I don't want to see you cry
And I'd like to be your man to rent
But I don't ever see you try
So you think you have all the evidence
So tell me what's your bottom line

Caterpillar asleep in the bathtub
Berry always wake in the sink
Butterfly arrive in the bedroom
Beauty fly away on a wing

It took a few months to infiltrate,
In just one night he bit the bait.
It didn't seem Lai would give it up.
Even when Shelby spiked his cup.

He ran a tight ship and closed his mouth,
Every time the ladies were in the house.
Everything she did was done in vain.
Couldn't get a wire tap in the drain.

Give it up! Give it up!

Come on all the ladies, get down tonight.
Know a little agent who has set her sight.
Come on all the ladies, get down tonight.
Give it up! Give it up!

Little Shelby Rose, this is how it goes,
And you know what it takes.
Careful what you say, careful what you do,
Can't afford a mistake.

Come on all the ladies, get down tonight.
Know a little agent who has set her sight.

Little does he know she has him read.
In a couple minutes, they're off to bed.
Takes another name and sculpts her clay,
And not before long she's got her prey.

Come on all the ladies, get down tonight.
Know a little agent who has set her sight.

Give it up! Give it up!

Ladies was first played by Electron on 8/18/00, debuted on the same night as the full Chemical Warfare Brigade opera, along with Floodlights, Shelby Rose and Confrontation. The lyrics are largely the same, but the structure of the song is slightly different: there are shouts of “give it up! give it up!” in the introduction and before the jam, and there is a brief synth jam in between the verses. The jam in this Electron version is also considerably slower and mellower than in Biscuits versions, and there is no peak; rather, the jam just resolves back into the same verse from the intro.

The first and only Biscuits version of Ladies in 2000 is tightened up considerably from the Electron version. It is much faster than the Electron version, and the peak has that much needed Barber “oomph.” Although slightly slower than modern versions, in all other ways the song is virtually indistinguishable.

Ladies was played a whopping 27 times each in 2001 and 2002, the years of the song’s first golden age. It was a staple of the early spring tour, and was mostly played standalone, although it was split on its second performance on 3/22/01 and segued into on 4/12/01 and 4/20/01. It was inverted for the first time at the Bisco Knights festival on 8/25/01. In the fall tour the song became a powerhouse, with standout versions including the set closing standalone on 9/8/01 and the massive inverted version on 9/22/01.

2002 was the year Ladies really took off. 4/25/02 is the first dyslexic version, and the standout version from the spring tour. The summer tour included many excellent versions, including 7/26/02 and 8/11/02, but the real apex for the song came in the fall tour, with two legendary versions on 10/4/02 and 10/18/02.

Ladies became less common after 2002, and although the 2003 versions aren’t as legendary as the late 2001 or 2002 versions, there are a couple with unmistakable merit, such as the unfinished 4/25/03 or the split-up 11/28/03 (which was a part of the fourth complete performance of the Chemical Warfare Brigade. Ladies was only played seven more times with Sammy after 2003.

When Allen joined the band, Ladies became a catalog staple once again. Its second golden age lines up nicely with the second golden age of the band overall, beginning in mid-2007 and lasting into early 2010. The Astronaut > Ladies (><) > Astronaut from 11/19/06 is arguably the first great Ladies with Allen, but the spectacular 5/27/07 Ladies > O Fortuna > Spacebird (><) > Ladies and the over 35 minute Ladies > Gangster from 10/23/07 definitively assured Ladies’ place in the pantheon of trance-fusion juggernauts.

Ladies remained a powerhouse staple through 08 (standout versions including 1/16/08, 4/18/08, 5/24/08, 6/13/08 and 12/30/08), but the song hit another level in 2009, when it was played 21 times (the most of any year since 2002). In a year of furious lightspeed trance jams, Ladies flourished. Notable versions including 2/15/09, 4/24/09, and 6/25/09 are hailed as some of the best ever. The song was played twice in 2010 before wristgate, on 1/29/10 and 3/17/10, and both versions are excellent.

Ladies remained a setlist staple in the setbreak era, and in addition to the numerous versions played during this time, the band frequently used a Ladies style jam to get from A to B in this era. In fact, the year where Ladies was most common was 2012, when it was played on average once every 3.3 shows. Notable versions from the setbreak era include the 1/26/14 Tractorbeam version, 3/26/16, 6/02/16, and 8/20/16.

In the post-setbreak era, Ladies continues to be a setlist staple. It is still frequently played inverted, although well-known exceptions include the set bookending 9/23/23 and the dyslexic 1/28/24 (part of a full set palindrome). Ladies is one of the most frequently played Biscuits songs, appearing on average once every five to six shows since its debut. It has only disappeared from the rotation for more than a dozen shows a few times, and never for more than sixteen shows. It is an indisputably important part of the Biscuits’ catalog.
