She looked up in the noonday sun, said, "Fighter jets are so unreal"

But we've got a job to be done, come on



When I was just a boy, I saw the kings of the big gold cities

But as they died I dried up inside -- let's ride



Let's ride on airplanes and buses

Let's ride to the end of the line

Let's ride on fast motorcycles

Let's leave the routines of living behind



We pulled into a tick-tock town and all the people looked so happy

Another trip down the elephant slide -- let's ride



Let's ride on subways and steeples

Let's ride to the end of the line

Let's ride on prescriptions and bottles

Let's leave the routines of living behind



[Let's ride on airplanes and buses

Let's ride to the end of the line

Let's ride on fast motorcycles

Let's leave the routines of living behind]
