lyrics

©1992 Parker, BMI

i woke up dead and you were there
 there you were on my bed
 telling me the sun was blue 
and there wasn't anything else to do 

we took the sled and got the tree
 for christmas day you and me
 it was big and shiny like a million story airplane standing on its side 
we got on and took a ride
 the captain said you better hide 
no one knows where we're going to
 no one knows what we're gonna do

 we flew past jupiter
we flew past mars 
our friends drove by us in their cars 
you didn't care neither did i 
on this ride we're going to fly
 lets do it for the ride 
go along for the ride 
its a day and nighttime trip
 i think i think we're going to flip
 look out for the twists
 there's one we almost missed
 look out for the twists 
there's one we almost missed
 its a day and nighttime trip
i think i think we're gonna flip
 its a day and nighttime trip
i think i think we're gonna flip
