You left your house, you left your girl
You left it all for another world
You left your job, you lost your car
You left it all, it was so bizarre

Hey hey hey, you feeling wicked?
You can't explain, it wasn't anything specific
Hey hey hey, you feeling twisted?
You can't explain, it wasn't anything specific

You like to drink, you like to party
You like to spend your nights with naughty girls
So stay up late and sleep all day
And don't be scared when the people say

Well I just took a left on 57 South.
With a stogie in my hand and a lighter in my mouth.
There's a transient in the backseat and my dog is riding 'gun.
We're making easy money and we're always on the run.

When you're pimping ho's in style, there's just one place to be.
It's nestled in the corner of southwestern Tennessee.
My dog who knew the King he told me just the other day.
The only one from Memphis is the Presley's Adelay.

Making Easy Money Pimping Hoes In Style.
The only one from Memphis is at Graceland.
Making Easy Money Pimping Hoes In Style.
It's good to have you in the band.

Adelay is in the backseat and the money's in the tank.
The cops are right behind us on a beeline from the bank.
With the pedal to the floor we pass the border and we're free.
And fading in the rearview is Memphis, Tennessee.

Making Easy Money Pimping Hoes In Style.
The only one from Memphis is at Graceland.
Making Easy Money Pimping Hoes In Style.
It's good to have you in the band.\\r

There was no way, there was no way out
I had to wait, I could not fade out,
I had no time to recombine,
I had to play the game.

I had this dream since I was five,
On a highwire,
Where I stood to touch the sky.

You tell me that you want me to slide,
with your angels and God on your side,
but there's something that I just had to say,
You can have my white jacket when they cart you away.

I had this dream since I was five,
On a highwire,
Where I stood to touch the sky.

You tell me that you're using your mind,
it paints you pictures of a day back in time,
when a bell rang and I woke up to say
can I have your white jacket when they cart me away.

I had this dream since I was five, (when they cart me away)
On a highwire,
Where I stood to touch the sky... (when they cart you away)

Above the waves, Going under

Corrinado swam like hell on fire
With jelly arms and beaten bones
He rode the crests, he broke the waves
Trying to get a breath of air for all that he had left to save

Mulberry let the engines burn
The airship lifting off the ground
He watched the sea, could not believe
That he thought Corrinado could be free, his life was now in vain

All was left one chance to fly away
He spun, he heard a gasping sound
But he did not see his friend

After the sun and light were gone
Before he found himself at home
Corrinado swam, fought the waves
Remembering when, a myriad of falls, behind another day

All was left one chance to fly away
just beyond his reach the plan
To reunite them once again

Caught in the waves as the wind whipped on
and the sand sat calmly miles below
He had to swim, to take the day
Hoping to see Mulberry when he crawled to reach his getaway

All was left one chance to fly away
Just beyond his reach the plan
To reunite them once again

then the rest is over the B chord I believe.

here's the next little riff he does.

(repeat once, then play the part before that again)

Then, on the first (above the waves....) play a
B major on the 7th fret on every 3rd beat. and a C# major > B major at the
last (above the waves....).
On the next time around, instead of playing the B on every 3rd beat, it
goes B > E, B > E alternating every other 3rd beat, until the last (above
the waves...) where its a G#m > F# major.
(If all this details just confuses you, just listen to a tape and listen
for the chord changes.:)

then the song drops into F#m, where Jon comes in with this riff.

(now, after the jam, when it comes back into this section, you're
basically playing the same thing as above, until right before the D-A-G-A
part, where you play over these chords: F#m F Bb E A. After the last A, it
goes into the D-A-G-A.)

This is a simple D, A, G progression. Play the D on the 5th fret, the A
also on the 5th, and the G on the 3rd. Figure out the rhythm and all that
for yourself, cause its pretty simple. :)

Ok, the next part comes right after that last A chord. (..and he could not
see his friend..)

then he comes back in with that same intro riff for 2 measures (i think),
then he does something like this. (note: he first starts this a octave
higher, but its much easier to learn it this way first)

Debuted at the tail end of 1998, Waves is one of the final songs of the Hot Air Balloon rock opera (third to last by debut order and second to last chronologically). Like most of the opera, it is a high water mark for the band both lyrically and compositionally. It is also the first Biscuits song to debut with a defined trance jam. Both versions from 1998 are remarkably strong.\r

Although it was one of the last Hot Air Balloon songs to debut, with the finished version first appearing 12/29/98, an instrumental passage that would later be incorporated into Waves was performed as Road Song four times in 1998, for the first time on 2/21/98 and as late as 6/4/98. All four versions were played before any song from the finalized opera had debuted. \r

Waves was the most played song in 1999, a year which saw the band continue to develop and use Waves in inventive ways. The song was split up for the first time the third time it was played, 1/18/99, in a spectacular Waves > Vassillios > Waves sandwich. It was performed dyslexic for the first time on 3/21/99 (Waves > Run Like Hell is particularly worth hearing) and inverted for the first time at the first Camp Bisco on 8/21/99 (the entire Shimmy > Waves (><) > Shimmy is worthwhile, but Waves > Shimmy is especially excellent).\r

The song was a massive vehicle for high speed trance jams in the winter and spring of 1999, with numerous standout versions including the 35 minute juggernaut from 2/3/99. Other excellent versions from this era include 3/13/99, 3/27/99, 4/9/99, 5/1/99, 5/6/99 and 6/5/99. In the summer and fall, the song regularly began to feature a dub jam. Waves had incorporated dub jams before, notably on 2/3/99 and 2/20/99, but after the inverted version from 8/21 it became a mainstay. Some excellent versions from this era include 8/21/99, 9/14/99, 10/9/99 and 10/22/99.\r

Waves remained a strong jam vehicle through the rest of 1.0. In 2000, a year with considerable dub influence, Waves reverted back to a trance vehicle. It soon became one of the most frequently inverted songs. 10/14/00 is one of the strongest inverted versions ever, and 11/2/01 notably opened with a “Koyanisqaatsi Jam” > inverted Waves, the first time a show opened with a jam into an inverted song. Important versions from post-1999 1.0 are multitudinous, including 10/14/00, 10/26/00, 11/2/00 12/27/00, 4/7/01, 4/28/01, 9/1/01, 11/2/01, 3/8/02, 10/2/02, 8/15/03, and 11/26/03. \r

When Allen joined the band, Waves remained a rotation staple and an important jam vehicle. On 11/8/06, the audience voted for a Waves encore; this was the first time a standalone Waves was played in the encore slot. There aren’t many standout versions from the year, but 11/19/06 with Magellan teases, and the fantastic Waves/Crickets mashup from 12/30/06 (the first setlist written by Allen, and what a setlist it is), are both standout versions. Similarly, for being such a strong year for the band, 2007 has something of a dearth of excellent Waves. 5/20/07 stands above the rest, but the song was grossly underutilized in 07.\r

The lull continued into 08, with a few uninspired ending only versions at the beginning of the year, before a massive exploratory inverted version on 3/22/08 in Denmark. The April shows at the Nokia saw the first split inversion of Waves, with the middle played on 4/11/08 and the ending and beginning played on 4/12/08. After only one performance between April and December, Waves closed out the year strong, with two stellar performances at Holidaze (12/14/08) and the Nokia (12/28/08).\r

The momentum built at the end of 2008 continued into 2009, easily the strongest year for Waves in a decade. It was often played middle only, including such standout performances as 1/31/09, 2/13/09, 2/27/09, and, most significantly, 4/24/09, 6/4/09, and 12/31/09.\r

Waves remained a regular in the rotation through the rest of 2.0 and the setbreak era (appearing 2-6 times per year). In 2015, Waves was played as a split inversion again for the first time since 09, and was played that way off and on for the next couple of years. It hit another period of growth in 2016, with standout versions from 3/26/16 and 7/15/17.\r

In the post-setbreak years, Waves continued its upward trajectory, appearing 8 times in 2021 and 2022 and 10 times in 2023 (the most appearances in a single year since 2010). The 2021 versions are particularly strong, with the fall seeing a return to the looser, dubby style in which the song was played in fall 1999. The 9/19/21 version features a distinct Gamma Goblins jam (complete with Alan Watts samples) and 11/21/21 is perhaps the best standalone version played with Allen.\r

Waves has remained a staple of the band’s catalog since its debut. It was played on average every 2.6 shows in 1999, and never left the catalog for more than 23 shows, when Barber broke his wrist in 2010. The longest gap otherwise was 21 shows in 2013.\r
