For The solo, (I highly doubt this is right but this is how i do it) tremolo pick the
fret harmonic of the B string and the 7th fret harmonic of the high e string. BUT do not
them at once what you want to do is hit the B string for a little bit then move up to
e string for a sec. Try to use Variation and it will sound almost like Tom plays it.

Lyrics:
Satellites and mirrors and a man without a home
A horse and a rider and a clever cunning killer
Silent in error and vocal in spotlights
Lying always sucking on a bottle of that sweet indulgent fluid
Oh greed, oh yes, oh greed, oh yes
Your friendship is a fog
It disappears when the wind redirects
You, yes you
A father's expectations, soul soaked in spit and urine
And you gotta make it where
To a sanctuary that's only a fragile American hell
An empty dream, a selfish, horrific vision
Passed on like the deadliest of viruses
Crushing you and your naive compassions
So have no illusions boy
Vomit up all ideals and serve
Sleep and wake, and serve
Dont think just wake and serve
You friendship is a fog
It disappears when the wind redirects you
Interested in you, interested in you

for the solo: Tom had some faulty guitar for this album where if he turned it up all the way it would feedback and delay. Live, you can see him just standing in front of his amp and turning his volume up and down. I've sort of replicated it buy letting my guitar feedback, putting some delay on, and using my whammy to modify the pitch.
