"Vasoline" by Stone Temple Pilots
First, there's a fade-in with feedback (1) which is soon doubled by a guitar
doing hammer-ons from A to Bb (2) and another guitar does upstrokes on
a really weird chord (see "bridge" section WAY below) then there's a little
descending thing (3) right before you go into the main riff...

Lyrics:
One time a thing occurred to me
What's real and what's for sale
Blew a kiss and tried to take it home.
(CHORUS:
Isn't you, isn't me
Search for things that you can't see.
Goin't blind, out of reach
Somewhere in the Vasoline.)
Two times and it has rendered me
Punch drunk and without bail
Think I'd be safer all alone.
Flies in the vasoline we are
Sometimes it blows my mind
Keep getting stuck here all the time.
(Chorus)
(Bridge:
You'll see the look
And you'll see the lies.
You'll eat the lies
And you will...)
(Solo)
