She looked up in the noonday sun, said, fighter jets are so unreal
But weve 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 -- lets ride

Lets ride on airplanes and buses
Lets ride to the end of the line
Lets ride on fast motorcycles
Lets 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 -- lets ride

Lets ride on subways and steeples
Lets ride to the end of the line
Lets ride on prescriptions and bottles
Lets leave the routines of living behind

[lets ride on airplanes and buses
Lets ride to the end of the line
Lets ride on fast motorcycles
Lets leave the routines of living behind]
