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.
