TRANS-ISLAND SKYWAY
|
|
I was born yesterday
|
When they brought my Kamakiri
|
When they handed me the keys
|
It's a steam-power 10
|
The frame is out of Glasgow
|
The tech is Balinese
|
It's not a freeway bullet
|
Or a bug with monster wheels
|
It's a total biosphere
|
The farm in the back
|
Is hydroponic
|
Good, fresh things
|
Every day of the year
|
Good, fresh things
|
Every day of the year
|
|
With all screens and functions
|
In sync lock with Tripstar
|
This cool rolling bubble
|
Is all set to samba
|
This route could be trouble
|
(This route could be trouble)
|
|
Chorus:
|
Steamin' up
|
That Trans-Island Skyway
|
Tryin' to make that final deadline
|
And if the lanes are clear
|
We're gonna drive a little harder
|
We'll be deep in the Zone by cryin' time
|
|
Say, there's a wreck
|
On the side of the road
|
Lots of blood and broken glass
|
The kid who was driving
|
I know from somewhere
|
Some kids just drive too fast
|
Wait just a minute
|
There's a beautiful survivor
|
With dancer's legs and laughing eyes
|
C'mon snakehips, it's all over now
|
Strap in tight cause it's a long sweet ride
|
|
Relax - put some sounds on
|
I'll brew up some decaf
|
C'mon kick off those heels ma'am
|
Now breathe in and sigh out
|
Let's get with the program
|
(Let's talk about the good times)
|
|
Chorus
|
|
We reach the sprangle
|
Just at dawn
|
These little streets I used to know
|
Is that my father
|
Mowin' the lawn
|
(C'mon daddy get in let's go)
|
C'mon daddy get in let's go
|
C'mon daddy get in let's go
|
C'mon daddy get in let's go
|
C'mon daddy get in let's go
|
C'mon daddy get in let's go
|
C'mon daddy get in let's go
|
|
We pull into Five Zoos
|
Past motels and drive-thrus
|
That noon sun is blinding
|
The tidepools are boiling
|
Below plates are grinding
|
(Let's talk about the good times)
|
|
Chorus
