Surf And/Or Die - Walter Becker[00:00:00]
Earthbound to Johnny boy just picked up your message[00:00:16]
'Bout those Balinese ikats you thought I might buy[00:00:20]
Now your voice on my machine[00:00:25]
Is more alive than what you are[00:00:28]
Since your daredevil hang glider fell out of the sky[00:00:31]
Now Armand's looked all over but[00:00:36]
He can't find your car keys[00:00:38]
Were they under the tire Were they under the seat[00:00:40]
Because as it stands now your beloved white Aires[00:00:45]
Is fair game for the vandals up on Makapuu Street[00:00:50]
And your grandmother's number we know it's here somewhere[00:00:55]
But Suze can't seem to find it now she's losing control[00:01:00]
And so what about her and little Eldon and Layla[00:01:04]
And that hypothetical spectre your gilt edged soul[00:01:09]
Which defied many perils in the face of all reason[00:01:14]
And in so many settings[00:01:19]
And for all your young years[00:01:20]
Insisting on pure freedom for it's too short season[00:01:24]
Riding high on it's ration of enchantment and fear[00:01:28]
Over the hill and into the next[00:01:33]
Meadow and on and on and on[00:01:36]
In a near random universe there[00:02:12]
Are still certain combinations[00:02:13]
Picked out from all other possible ones[00:02:16]
Which when given some time and[00:02:21]
The just right circumstances[00:02:23]
Not too far from the earth or too close to the sun[00:02:26]
They will dance and they'll spin[00:02:31]
In the embrace of the trade winds[00:02:33]
Playing havoc with the hearts[00:02:36]
And the upturned faces down below[00:02:37]
Until the laws of curved spacetime[00:02:40]
Susponed without warning[00:02:43]
Kick back in with a vengeance[00:02:45]
For the last act of the show[00:02:47]
Going too far too fast in that final wing over[00:02:50]
As your glider comes tumbling out of the clouds[00:02:55]
And you clutch at your chest but the chute never opens[00:03:00]
And they find you there tangled in that white nylon shroud[00:03:04]
When we get Grandma's number I think I'll just say to her[00:03:10]
Your Johnny's home for Christmas it was a hell of a ride[00:03:14]
And I know that some day you'll[00:03:19]
Be showing me those blankets[00:03:20]
All covered in glory on the hereafter side saying[00:03:23]
There was never any question[00:03:28]
It was always all or nothing[00:03:31]
Surf andor die[00:03:33]
