Flaming Lips : Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots
...try to name another band who have lasted ten albums, each one more visionary than the last. Can't, can you?...

The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots: Wikipedia Album Entry
It was announced in March 2007 that the album is to be made into a Broadway musical by The West Wing creator Aaron Sorkin and director Des McAnuf. Frontman Wayne Coyne said of the plot:
“There's the real world and then there's this fantastical world. This girl, the Yoshimi character, is dying of something. And these two guys are battling to come visit her in the hospital. And as one of the boyfriends envisions trying to save the girl, he enters this other dimension where Yoshimi is this Japanese warrior and the pink robots are an incarnation of her disease. It's almost like the disease has to win in order for her soul to survive. Or something like that.”

Who's from the future
But logic broke as he appeared he spoke
About the future

It's summertime
And I can understand if you still feel sad
It's summertime
Though it's hard to see its true possibilities

I had forgiven you for trickin' me again
But I have been tricked again
Into forgivin' you

The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots Pt.2 Lyrics

Working for the city - she has to discipline her body -
Cause she knows that it's demanding to defeat these
Evil machines - I know she can beat them -

The Flaming Lips - One More Robot/Sympathy 3000-21 Lyrics
Unit three thousand twenty one is warming
Makes a humming sound when its circuits duplicate emotions
And a sense of coldness detaches
As it tries to comfort your sadness
