SONG #19
12/?/91
The Jimithing
Jimi Thing
The song is a fun journey through a drug trip. The drug has altered
in the song from time to time, but the most common thought would be Marijuana (Heroin referenced dripped in during 1994 versions).
A Jimi Thing is a condom, the reference is more of a joke than a literal reference or some homage to Jimi Hendrix. Dave has
said that the opening rift did remind band members of a Jimi Hendrix song, but very early versions were actually devoid of
the Jimi line.

Lately I've been feeling low
A remedy is what I'm seeking
Take a taste of what's below
Come away to something
better
What I want is what I've not got
But what I need is all around me
Reaching searching never stop
And
I'll say...
If you could keep me floating just for a while
'Til I get to the end of this tunnel, mummy
If
you could keep me floating just for a while
I'll get back to you
Take a Jimi Thing
Just to keep me swingin'
I'd like to show you what's inside
I shouldn't care if you don't like it
Brother chaos rules all about
Sometimes
I walk there
Yes, God knows sometimes I take a bus
I shouldn't care I shouldn't care bereaved as
I'm feeling
Day
is gone I'm on my back
Staring up at the ceiling
I take a drink sit back relax
Smoke my mind makes me feel
Better
for a short time
What I want is what I've not got
What I need is all around me
Reaching searching never stop
And
I'll say
If you could keep me floating just for a while
'Til I get to the end of this tunnel...mummy
If you
could keep me floating just for a while
I'll get back to you
