Editor's note: I've checked various lyric sites, and there seems to be yet another disputed lyric in this line. Some of them say "cyclone ranger", and others say "psyched lone ranger". I'm going with the latter as correct, since it seems to make more sense. I guess you'll have to buy the album to find out what the right words are.
