Surf And-or Die Lyrics

Surf And-or Die lyrics

Earthbound to Johnny boy just picked up your message

'Bout those Balinese
ikats you thought I might buy

Now your voice on my machine is more alive
than what you are

Since your daredevil hang glider fell out of the sky

Now Armand's looked all over but he can't find your car keys

Were they
under the tire? Were they under the seat?

Because as it stands now your
beloved white Aires

Is fair game for the vandals up on Makapuu Street

And your grandmother's number, we know it's here somewhere

But Suze
can't seem to find it, now she's losing control

And so what about her,
and little Eldon and Layla

And that hypothetical spectre, your gilt-edged
soul

Which defied many perils, in the face of all reason

And in so
many settings and for all your young years

Insisting on pure freedom for
its too-short season

Riding high on its ration of enchantment and fear

Over the hill and into the next meadow and on and on and on



In a
near random universe there are still certain combinations

Picked out from
all other possible ones

Which, when given some time and the just-right
circumstances

Not too far from the earth or too close to the sun

They will dance and they'll spin in the embrace of the trade winds

Playing havoc with the hearts and the upturned faces down below

Until
the laws of curved spacetime, susponed without warning

Kick back in with
a vengeance for the last act of the show

Going too far too fast in that
final wing over

As your glider comes tumbling out of the clouds

And
you clutch at your chest but the chute never opens

And they find you there
tangled in that white nylon shroud

When we get Grandma's number I think
I'll just say to her

Your Johnny's home for Christmas, it was a hell of a
ride

And I
