lyrics

MAGIC BLIMP

She thought she saw
Saw a crystal ship
She was lying on her back
On a dance floor in Islip
And the band it sucked but the guitarist sounded good
She didn’t mind lying in the beer on the hard hardwood

In her mind she can fly on a crystal ship
In her mind she can fly on a crystal ship

She was lying there when the whole drunk crowd was cleared
The bouncer came up, kicked her once and said, "It’s time for you too, dear"
She walked out on the street and saw trails from passing cars
Wow, man, they’re coming at me like a million stars

Oh she thought it was cosmic but it really was just her eyes
Oh she thought it was cosmic, she needed surgery on her eyes

He was waiting to be hugged by Amma in a Marriott Hotel
The crowd rushed forward, everybody wanted to be in her folds
To be hugged by someone who has hugged one million people
Is almost like eating a burger at McDonald’s—so many served

Oh, he thought it was cosmic, but it just plain made him fat
Oh, he thought it was cosmic but it was bigger than that

She thought she was walking in the 1960s
She was in an annex of the Dubai Mall in the part they call The Village
She thought she’d see a star like Edie or maybe she'd talk to Andy
But all they had were just stacks and stacks of sale-price skinny jeans

Oh, she thought it was cosmic, it really was just a mall
Oh, she thought it was cosmic, it was closer to a fall

And we all got together and burned something in the desert
It's gotten too hip in Nevada so we detoured to Death Valley
We thought we could cock our guns and pose like Squeaky Fromme
But President Ford was long gone and we had no stories worth leaking

Oh we thought it was cosmic, maybe we’d commit a murder
But none of us could break the rules
Get outside the rules!

Ah, crystal ship, please take me
Crystal ship, magic blimp
Oh, Zeppelin
Oh, Goodyear
Budweiser
Make me wiser
Just take me
I don’t care what you’re advertising
Just take me
Crystal ship, magic blimp
Oh, Goodyear
Budweiser
Make me wiser
I don’t care what you’re advertising
Just take me
Just take me
