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)

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!

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.

Freeze, get your hands up x2

Feels like yesterday, flying around causing trouble, nothing left to do

Now we're on our way, future’s bright got my sights set on 7th avenue

In New York City, drive around we should kick it, drop top in the rain

Don’t have no pity, it's not the human way, they won't feel any pain

CHORUS:

Freeze, get your hands up…you think you got all the moves

Freeze, get your hands up…there's nothing you can do

Freeze, get your hands up…come close i'll tell you the news

Freeze, get your hands up…

This freeze is coming after you x5

Better lucky than good, never turn your back on a each other, not the thing to do

It’s well understood, it's our night city lights lookin real good on you

Gotta make some money, throw it around book a party, spend it all in a day

Gonna have a good time, i don't care what they say, were gonna do it anyway

CHORUS:

Take your positions, prepare the crystal

Don't heed your inhibitions, you won't find them useful

Full power procedures, all systems ready

This calls for precision, you better keep the aim steady

This freeze is coming after you x5

get your hands up…This freeze is coming after you x2

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

Short circuit in my brain, tell me are ya foldin, I wanna know

And If there's somewhere you can hide, maybe you could go and be on your own

And you stay, out too long

And they say, it's easy to walk away

I'm feeling like you’re stolen now

And the hands, on my mind, set the stage, for the crime

Let it run and let it roll

bright flashes cross the sky

set you free if you believe it

Catch a fever, catch a feelin

Twisted in the road, maybe you were rolling, for far too long

and If there’s somewhere you can fly, maybe you could go and, take to the sky

Cuz i've heard, this song before

And you fly, away on your own

Would you say, it's easy to walk away

And i'm hoping that i’ve taught you well

How to play, all the cards, lay 'em down, you're a star.

Well maybe you should just work it
And you want to breathe oxygen?
So why not go out and buy it
Did you ever think about it,
That maybe we were all crazy for the start?

How can I add it up?
That freedom is a gun
With giant bags of money
Wrapped in uniform?

Did you ever think about it,
That everyone gets lucky some of the time?

As you walk the razor blade, thinking we could fall to either side
So we came to crash the party
And spraypaint on your carpet
And You heard it was an accident
But maybe you don't believe it
Did you ever think about it,
That maybe we were all crazy from the start?

How can I add it up?
That freedom is a gun
With giant bags of money
Wrapped in uniform?

Spraypaint my name on the wall
Question me I have the time
Fits your profile
Anything you need to make a profit
Have the time
Fix your profile
Anything that you need to make up

(No Longer Sung:)

Take me slowly down the road
Pull me over I'll drive the car
Get your profile, anything you need to make a paycheck
Drive the car, get your profile
Anything that you need to make up
And you want to sail away
wishing you could be simply out of life (thinking we could be simply out of time)
