"Five Sticks"
For some reason, this track found on the self-titled album by the band is entirely backwards, and is actually their OTHER song "The Ambiguity Song". Lyric on "Five Sticks": Everything seems to be up in the air at this time Everything seems to be up in the air at this time One day soon, it'll all settle down Everything seems to be up in the air at this time
