Life On The Fly
Something blew yet I didn’t feel it
The sky was wrong and I lost my way
Longing for a different day
Life on the fly
Well yeah that’s the life here
You walk around looking at corn-cobs
Toking from your bag of sci-fi beer
While the marketeers vie
Life on the fly
I plan on doing nothing with premeditation
When I get to Hollywood
Set me on the destination
Make it good
The shit was strong and I didn’t need it
You just get high and then you wanna come down
Heave a little each time your feet touch the ground
Life on the fly
And so why return here?
Looking around for my man with the mellow eye
Even though he don’t make ya hungry anymore
When your fly is burning out
And your burn has flown
I plan on doing nothing with premeditation
When I get to Hollywood
Set me on the destination
Make it good
See no future retain no past
Say my friend how can you ever last?
Hanging on like a two and half inch cigarette ash
No laugh no cry
Cause that’s the way of life here
You check around you may realize
There’s some picture you been carrying in your mind
But the memory no longer seems
One of a kind
And where it’s from is not clear
Did the image come off of a movie screen?
Or is it from your own life history?
Just one of hundreds that each day pass sight unseen
Into the compound eye
I plan on doing nothing with premeditation
When I get to Hollywood
Set me on the destination
Make it good
