Surf And-or Die Lyrics

Earthbound to Johnny boy just picked up your
message
'Bout those Balinese ikats you thought I might
buy
Now your voice on my machine is more alive
than what you are
Since your daredevil hang glider fell out of the
sky
Now Armand's looked all over but he can't find
your car keys
Were they under the tire? Were they under the
seat?
Because as it stands now your beloved white
Aires
Is fair game for the vandals up on Makapuu
Street
And your grandmother's number, well, we know
it's here somewhere
But Suze can't seem to find it, now she's losing
control
And so what about her, and little Eldon and Layla
And that hypothetical spectre, your gilt-edged
soul
Which defied many perils, in the face of all
reason
And in so many settings and for all your young
years
Insisting on pure freedom for it's too-short
season
Riding high on it's ration of enchantment and fear
Over the hill and on into the next meadow and on
and on and on
In a near random universe there are still certain combinations
Picked out from all other possible ones
Which, when given some time and the just-right
circumstances
Not too far from the earth or too close to the sun
They will dance and they'll spin in the embrace of
the trade winds
Playing havoc with the hearts and the upturned
faces down below
Until the laws of curved spacetime, susponed
without warning
Kick back in with a vengeance for the last act of
the show
Going too far too fast in that final wing over
As your glider comes tumbling out of the clouds
And you clutch at your chest but the chute never
opens
And they find you there tangled in that white
nylon shroud
When we get Grandma's number I think I'll just
tell her
Your boy's home for Christmas, it was a hell of a
ride
And I know that someday you'll be showing me
those blankets
All covered in glory on the hereafter side, saying
There was never any question, it was always all
or nothing
Surf and/or die
