Lyrics

Let's go to Florida Palm trees and shit man Palm trees here we go It was like a town in Florida in the fifties you know I don't know there's a lot of white buildings They were really white I could see them They were about seven or eight stories tall All the people were walking around And it just looks so good you know They all had uh blue dresses and nice pants on You know they're all of them are drinking pop From you know with straws in the bottles Things were lookin' you know sun was shining so bright The downtown looked incredible I couldn't believe it There was gliders flyin' around in the sky These guys flying around in gliders you know And they'd swoop between the buildings And they they'd go down the alley ways you know And they make a sharp left and a sharp right And uh it's like they I couldn't believe That it was really happening you know So I said you know I don't believe this this isn't real And just as I said that this guy in the glider Was coming right through the center of town And he ran into the building in the middle of town Fifteen story high building right in the center of town He started tumbling through the air you know And his glider crashed in the alley and uh I noticed this couple on the uh on the parking lot And uh they they were just walking together in conversation you know Like nothing else was happening and uh looking up They noticed a tumbling man coming through the air And uh he he came right down and landed right on them And made and awful sound and uh I ran over there I could see that they were really gone you know But on the ground beside them was this little baby dressed in It just had a red blanket wrapped around it So I picked it up and took it to my car over on the corner which wasn't too far away And I put it in the back seat I don't know whether it was a boy or a girl I didn't look I just put it down It was sleeping and I looked and a crowd had gathered On the parking lot this beautiful lady was coming Down the street and I looked at her And she looked right at me and she said That's my baby in the back of your car there I said oh no that baby belongs to that to that dead couple on the parking lot And she said no no you're wrong you're wrong What happened to them
