One of you is gone again
(one of you is driving sober)
Two of you live in one head
(but neither one has taken over)
One of you is like your dad
(one of you is like your mother)
Both of you are good and bad
(but you're not one way or the other)

And it's hard just to be what you are
When you don't even know what you are
Oh, no, Ono, oh, no
You're a Gemini Yo Yo

One of you is straight ahead
(one of you is always hiding)
Well, baby, you're neither alive nor dead
(but life goes on while you're deciding)

And it's hard just to be what you are
When you don't even know what you are
Oh, no, Ono, oh, no
You're a Gemini Yo Yo

A Gemini Yo Yo
Oh, no

I kinda like the jangling guitars with that rhythmic vibrato.  
How many is a Bazilian?
“Astrology can be tested by the lives of twins. There are many real cases like this: one twin is killed in childhood in, say, a riding accident or struck by lightning, while the other one lives to a prosperous old age. Supposed that had happened to me. My twin and I would have been born in exactly the same place and within minutes of each other, exactly the same planets would be rising at our births. If astrology were valid, how would we have such profoundly different fates?”

--Carl Sagan
Two sides against the middle;
that is the essence of the Gemini. 
Good and Bad;
Profound and Bland,
both at war with the center,
all of it struggling for control. 
In some. 
In others there occurs a synthesis;
an emergence of a new whole,
a possible beauty truly wonderful to behold,
or something so evil it needs immediate extermination.  

Okay...a bit over-the-top I know but hey...it's a Saturday and I'm in a contemplative mood.

the melody line reminds me a bit of revolver beatles.

I've found it strange from the start since it doesn't sound like 1984 at all, and indeed: Wikipedia says "2000"!
Parts of this song remind me of CAKE! Anyone else hears it?
Didn't realize anyone was making music like this in 1984.

It's not just you.
You have to be one to appreciate this song...I'm proud to say I am a Gemini...actually I'm embarrassed.

1984? IL've never heard this before. Has kind of a Matthew Sweet vibe to it.
