Wayne Coyne & The Flaming Lips - I Am An Eye I Don't Know Why

Publisher: Third Man Books

Released 2026

I AM AN EYE I DON'T KNOW WHY is Wayne Coyne's (The Flaming Lips' founder and frontperson) first children's book. All sixty-four pages are original art and story by Coyne. I AM AN EYE I DON'T KNOW WHY is an unusual and endearing look at a young person finding their identity. Eyes, ears, nose, and mouth are literally separated and must find each other to help their face win a bike race. The two ears, two eyes, nose and mouth realize they are better off together, especially now they have become friends who can help each other see, hear, and steer. In the tradition of Dr. Seuss and the wonderful, wubbulous psychedelic music of the Flaming Lips, I AM AN EYE I DON'T KNOW WHY is an original and very funny look at the togetherness of self.
