Lyrics
Kids and planes and runway stripes
Flashy pimps and family fights
Spotted dogs and bloodshot eyes
Our space captain laughs and tries
To understand the scheme of things
But just in time the scene has changed
Buses here bring the beat
Shaman, Brady and Shakespeare
Moviemaker, booby shaker
Saxy airplane ticket taker
Union member, Leo Fender's pride and joy
Electric toy
Teacher and learner and incense burner
Religious leader and chronic bleeder
It's a hippie commune bonafide
A life and time award death dealer
Rock popcorn spine and feeler
Okie, limey and curtain climber
Future stones and dominoes
Know which way the wind blows
Stolen cola, no one knows
The shadow do, it's still a shady crew
'Cause I love her and she loves you
Just myself and forty friends in the name of pocket power
Out here on the road again with mad dogs and English men
