Cosmic Ride

Tomorrow I’ll fall into the sky and take the stars for a ride. Paint myself a psychedelic ship and head out on a cosmic trip. Past the moon and into the sun back out again and just keep on. The universe will be all mine. I’ll have myself a very cool time. How can this groovy trip be? Mushrooms or LSD? No. Nothing drastic as all that. I’ll just hitch a ride with my vampire bride. She’s something else, that girl, you know. She goes wherever she wants to go. She don’t need no bus or train She don’t need no airplane On a ride from planet earth to the planet of her birth. Just beyond our galaxy to a place called Planet 3. There are many of her kind in this hip chick colony. They play Zappa all day long, singing each and every song. How I met her is quite a tale, this immortal girl I call Love. I was strolling one night to the beat of some cool cats that were really sweet. Just as I was in my groove She appeared. All in tune. I didn’t care that she was pasty white and that she only came out at night. I just knew that she was cool. I mean literally cool. She stared at me with ancient eyes and then I had to say my goodbyes. She kissed my neck and I forgot that I had somewhere I should be. Now together we ride she and I to hip places throughout the sky. We travel only at night digging life without sunlight. I ain’t no vampire, at least not yet. I would know if it were so. It’s funny how we never fight. We just live on a vampire bites. We travel from one world to the next, searching for a taste of something cold, blood soup and black eyed peas. I’m very happy don’t you know My heart these days is always aglow. Me and my vampire girl we'll live throughout eternity, digging tunes and watching toons, we’re going to be all sanctified. So if you can’t find me one of these nights look up in the sky beyond the haze. I’ll be up high digging the scene with my vampire girl from Planet 3.
