Quote from Whiskeyclone:
"They began by doing "The New Pollution" together at their first eight shows. Initially, it was Devo-y, slightly spacey version. But after dropping it, they returned with a new version, sped-up quite fast! They dug this new arrangement so much that they even played it on KCRW, and continued with it until the tour ended. At the show on November 25 2002, Beck called it 'The Flaming Lips' version' of the song, explaining that initially they couldn't really find the groove of the song until they sped it up."

Original Version
Doo-doo-da-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
She's got a cigarette on each arm
She's got the lily-white cavity crazes
She's got a carburetor tied to the moon
Pink eyes looking to the fruit of the ages
She's alone in the new pollution
She's alone in the new pollution
She's got a hand on a wheel of pain
She can talk to the manglin' strangers
She can sleep in a fiery barn
Throwing troubles to the dyin' embers
She's alone in the new pollution
She's alone in the new pollution
She's alone in the new pollution
She's alone in the new pollution
She's got a paradise camouflouge
Like a whipcrack sending me shivers
She's a boat in a stripmine ocean
Riding low on the drunken rivers
She's alone in the new pollution
She's alone in the new pollution
Doo-doo-da-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
She's got the lily-white cavity crazes
She's got a carburetor tied to the moon
Pink eyes looking to the fruit of the ages
She's alone in the new pollution
She's alone in the new pollution
She can talk to the manglin' strangers
She can sleep in a fiery barn
Throwing troubles to the dyin' embers
She's alone in the new pollution
She's alone in the new pollution
She's alone in the new pollution
Like a whipcrack sending me shivers
She's a boat in a stripmine ocean
Riding low on the drunken rivers
She's alone in the new pollution
She's alone in the new pollution
