Fernando?

I wear a ponytail like a waterfall
And speak of landslide (?)
I've a ring key, and a Johnny
A good buzz, feelin' alright
Fishin tail, pop the top
Forget about what I ain't got
Sleep till 9, stay all night
Stamp your feet, turn out the light

Chrous:
If you wanna go where they chain out the sun,
see Fernando (see Fernando-oh)
He'll buy a bottle of Sauze for you and everyone
see Fernando (see Fernando-oh)

If you're high strung or stressed out
Down in the dumps, been turned out
Stabilized, motorized, insecure or fablized
Curious, so furious, picked apart like Prometheus
Legalize, don't peoplize (?)
stamp your feet, dry out your eyes

Chorus

You been jesabelled back from hell
Coolin' off, feelin' well
Tired of talkin', talked out, ticked off, tucked up
Tube topped, and backed up, had a major mind up
TBD'd or TV'd, tired of fallin' to your knees

Chorus x2

Oh, oh, oh

Everything is in question...

Hey, nice job! I think you did well (I don't understand the parts with the question marks either, haha) - I just found two things that I heard differently -

If you wanna go where they chain up the sun,

Tube topped, and backed up, hadn't made your mind up

a lot of that i couldn't understand, lol. thanks. these are things that I heard, they may or may not be right.

I've a room key, and a Johnny

Legalize, don't penalize

and what i heard was
Tube topped, backed up, have you made your mind up?

...but i could be wrong.

and what's Sauze?

instead of sauze, i heard sudds. although i have no idea what that is. neither really makes any sense though.

i think it's "lands speak or a land slide"

"i've a good buzz and a room key a johny feelin' all right."

there's something before "sleep till 9" too

and is it "seek fernando"?

and "simplify, dry out your eyes" ?

and i think it's "a bottle of suds" referring to beer or such...

and in the chorus it's "chain up the sun"

I think it's, "pitch your tent, pop the top"

Okay. So I took your original post and the suggestions in the replys and added my own take and this is what I get from the Conan performance. What do you think?

I wear a ponytail like a waterfall
Lands speak or lands slide
I've a room key, and a Johnny
A good buzz, feelin' alright
Picture tale (?), pop the top
Forget about what you ain't got
See the sites, Sleep till 9 (night?)
Stamp you feet, turn out the lights

Chrous:
If you wanna go where they chain up the sun,
see Fernando (see Fernando-oh)
He'll buy a bottle of suds for you and everyone
see Fernando (see Fernando-oh)

If you're high strung or stressed out
Down in the dumps, been turned out
Stabilized, motorized, insecure or fablized
Curious, so furious, picked apart like Prometheus
Legalize, penalize, simplify
Dry out your eyes

Chorus

You been jesabelled, back from hell
Coolin' off, feelin' well
Tired of talkin', talked out, ticked off, and toughed (fucked?) up
Tube topped, and backed up, haven't made your mind up
TBD'd (?) or TV'd, tired of fallin' to your knees

Chorus x2

Oh, oh, oh

Love. love, love this song. Was totally blown away in Chicago when they performed it. I seem to remember from that night that the line was "tired of talking, talked out, ticked off and fucked up,". Thanks to everyone who posted their ideas!! Lots of fun!

this is what i came up with...

I wear a ponytail like a waterfall
Lands speak or lands slide
I've a room key, and a Johnny
A good buzz, feelin' alright
Pitch a tent, pop a top
Forget about what you ain't got
See the sites, Sleep till night
Stamp you feet, turn out the lights

If you wanna go where they chain up the sun,
See Fernando,See Fernando
He'll buy a bottle of suds for you and everyone
See Fernando,See Fernando

If you're high strung or stressed out
Down in the dumps, been turned out
Stabilized, motorized, insecure or fablized
Curious, so furious, picked apart like Prometheus
Legalize, penalize, simplify
Dry out your eyes

If you wanna go where they chain up the sun,
See Fernando, See Fernando
He'll buy a bottle of suds for you and everyone
See Fernando,See Fernando

You been jezabelled, back from hell
Coolin' off, feelin' well
Tired of talkin', talked out, ticked off, and toughed up
Tube topped, and backed up, haven't made your mind up
TBD'd or TB'd, tired of fallin' to your knees

If you wanna go where they chain up the sun,
See Fernando, See Fernando
He'll buy a bottle of suds for you and everyone
See Fernando, See Fernando

If you wanna go where they chain up the sun,
See Fernando, See Fernando
He'll buy a bottle of suds for you and everyone
See Fernando, See Fernando

Ooooooooh

I think that's the best version of the lyrics so far.

I think it might be "Realize, penalize..." rather than "Legalize"

Just out of curiousity, is everyone working off her performance on Conan?

I always heard "loudspeaker cause a landslide" or something like that.

It is now, but I think it was different earlier. Before the album came out. When everything else in this thread was written.
