Did Mike Patton write the lyrics to Caffeine during a sleep deprivation experiment?
Apparently yes he did. Roddy has also pointed out that caffeine is “the only drug he [Patton] does”. But Caffeine was not the only song written during that time. Here’s what Patton had to say about Land Of Sunshine: “I wrote that song when I was doing an experiment in sleep deprivation with my body. I was up for three days straight and I was watching a lot of…late night TV programs…that are kind of self-help oriented…(Here he went into an explanation of infomercials, like “The Power Of Positive Thinking” etc.). So yeah, I was watching a lot of those so I wrote a really kinda absurdly positive song.
