lyrics

The rides are free today.
My pony ran away.
But you can climb on me and we
can flee into the shiny scenery.
My plumb line will be true.
My assets will accrue.
And when I close my eyes and hum
a rosier horizon comes in view.
And who but the mad or the lonely
would follow a fool like you?
A man with a plan to consume all he can
and arrive well fed at the cemetery dead and blue.
Escape your tidy cell.
Dive headlong into hell.
Commit yourself to lunacy
and flee into the shiny scenery.
Correctly engineered.
Impeccably veneered.
Completely free of entropy and
feasting like a beast eternally.
And who but the blind or the brain-dead
would follow a fool like me?
A nobody Joe with a notion to go
and arrive John Doe with a tag upon his toe
for thee.
The rides are free today.
My pony ran away.
But you can climb on me and we
can flee into the shiny
Señorita come with me and we
will flee into the shiny
See the world is yours for free
if you just flee into the shiny scenery.
