There's a line from the CD version of Kit Kat Jam that says something about being a super hero and a plastic cape.  Is there something painted on the back and it so, what?

Hi!  I'm not really sure what you're asking.  Is there something painted on the back of what?  Let me know what you mean and I'll see if I can help!  Thanks!

I've looked all over the lyric sites on the internet trying to track down the words to Kit Kat Jam from the Gorge Disc 2.  The version he sings at the Gorge is completely different from others: "greatest dream is that I could be some kind of super hero and I'd wear my plastic cape with a great big ....something something.... painted on the back" I can hear it in my head but don't know the words.  I wanted to know if you were either at the Gorge and knew the words or could point me to some DMB fan site that has the lyrics.  

Answer
Hello!  I was not at the Gorge, but another expert answered this question and this what they had to say...the lyrics might be...

Hey golden man with your head hangin' down
Oh pretty pretty love (too late?)
and I wish I was (your sign?)
Come bear it all
play with wonder in your eyes
(no color?/don't cower?) away from me
I'll be your big surprise

Don't you smell
watch that growing/glowing in the air
I'm out of (loathing?)
I'm folding again
I'm growing used to the filth in the air
Ain't just so proud of it
and makes us (affairs?)

And only this I dreamed that
I was all climbing (upthrown?)
and counting the stars
they were laughing
and they kept on counting
this all greatest dream
I could be some kind of superhero
and then wear my plastic cape
with a great gait
promising those (needing a hero?)

A mounted assault
on everything that busts through
I roll my (grass?) all far into
the middle of what (you don't toke?)
oh dearest prayers to the great
big plastic god
plotting us love through the
I suck (bear this rather bone?)

If all is all
I would swoop through the clouds
like an angel
and I would smile my plastic smile
and I would save it if
(back to fall back in here?)
oh no no
Maybe we all
my arms swear they are not from here
if all from way the beyond
why do I sometimes have a (coffee?)

But not a name
(said?) over why
your head
in the cloud now
fly fly fly
from (fright?) oh
now I'm far away
this all
watching me one more
plastic star falling


Hope this helps!  Thanks for your question!
