Rest of song...
B
Transdermal celebration
A
Caused a slight mutation
E
In the rift
B
It toppled down a nation
A E
And left the people running for the hills
B
But the mutants that I see
A
Shine their beauty unto me
E
I wish you could see them

E, Eb, Db, B, A
B
Tectonic tribulation
A E
Formed a crust of green beyond the reef
B
Waves fell in formation
A E
Cause the plants to bend with spi-ked leaves
B
I'm growing with the land
A E
Time has taken my hands and let me touch them
E, Eb, Db, B, A
Eb E
Hey, hey,
Eb E Eb Db E
A billion miles to Mark A
Eb E Eb E
Lay on the lawn, he's already home
Eb Db E B
When the morning ray hits his face

[Play intro without repeating.. then go into the solo... this is the best i could do..
have to figure out the rest of that part.. sorry guys]

B
Transdermal celebration
A
Jets flew in formation
E
I could see them
B
Dropping the crustaceans
A E
Leaving trails of flames in their wake
B
But where is the mutation
A E
Who once told me it was safe, I can't find him
E, Eb, Db, B, A
E Eb
Hey, hey,
E Eb Eb Db E
A billion miles to Mark A
E Eb E Eb
Lay on the lawn, he's already home
Eb Db E B
When the morning ray hits his face

[Play intro one last time slowly without repeating.. and that's it
hope this was helpful]

by far the most beautiful Ween song I've heard so far since I started listening to them. It's definately about an apocolyptic event.

I think it's a reference to God. All the stuff about being protected, growing with the land, the fact that the track becomes so powerful towards the jet part, and he seems happy about it. Safe. Meh, that's my opinion.

Look up transdermal... Basically talks about all the chemicals and crap that your body intakes when you use lotions/creams/soap... I think pesticides also are considered. So all that shit is fucking it up. That's what it means to me.

The end of the world on acid. That's gotta be pretty mind-blowing.

It could be anything, I just think its funny that it sounds exactly like a Stone Temple Pilots song.

Looking at Ween's past songs ("Flies On My Dick" anyone?), I have a hard time believing this has any relation to god whatsoever. I don't think it's about drugs, either, but I do think there's some reference to the end of the world in there.

like optimus prime said above, the video is great and it can be found on their site or on youtube. It's a wonderful piece of work, and depicts the song very well. It will most definitely help your understanding of the meaning of this song

I agree with chronobrain. It is obviously about the end of the world.. It seriously pisses me off when people think every ween song is about an "acid trip". I dont see any references to drugs in this one and skiguski is the biggest dumbass I have ever witnessed on this stupid website.

Click this link to see the animated music video for the song: http://chocodog.com/chocodog/ween/transdermal animated.wmv OR go to milkandcookies.com and look for it. It's really cool and completely depicts what the song is about. This video made me really like ween.
