Trans-Island Skyway

Lyrics

I was born yesterday
 When they brought my Kamakiri
 When they handed me the keys
 It's a steam-power 10
 The frame is out of Glasgow
 The tech is Balinese
 It's not a freeway bullet
 Or a bug with monster wheels
 It's a total biosphere
 Well the farm in the back
 Is hydroponic
 Good, fresh things
 Every day of the year
 Good, fresh things
 Every day of the year
 With all screens and functions
 In sync lock with Tripstar
 This cool rolling bubble
 Is all set to samba
 This route could be trouble
 (This route could be trouble)
 Steamin' up
 That Trans-Island Skyway
 Tryin' to make that final deadline
 And if the lanes are clear
 We're gonna drive a little harder
 We'll be deep in the Zone by cryin' time
 Say, there's a wreck
 On the side of the road
 Lots of blood and broken glass
 Well the kid who was driving
 I know from somewhere
 Some kids just drive too fast
 Wait just a minute
 There's a beautiful survivor
 With dancer's legs and laughing eyes
 C'mon snakehips, it's all over now
 Strap in tight cause it's a long sweet ride
 Relax - put some sounds on
 I'll brew up some decaf
 C'mon kick off those heels ma'am
 Now breathe in and sigh out
 Let's get with the program
 (Let's talk about the good times honey)
 Steamin' up
 That Trans-Island Skyway
 Tryin' to make that final deadline
 And if the lanes are clear
 We're gonna drive a little harder
 We'll be deep in the Zone by cryin' time
 ♪
 We reach the sprangle
 Just at dawn
 These little streets I used to know
 Is that my father
 Mowin' the lawn
 (C'mon daddy get in let's go)
 C'mon daddy get in let's go
 C'mon daddy get in let's go
 C'mon daddy get in let's go
 C'mon daddy get in let's go
 C'mon daddy get in let's go
 C'mon daddy get in let's go
 C'mon daddy get in let's go
 We pull into Five Zoos
 Past motels and drive-thrus
 That noon sun is blinding
 The tidepools are boiling
 Below plates are grinding
 (Let's talk about the good times honey)
 Steamin' up
 That Trans-Island Skyway
 Tryin' to make that final deadline
 And if the lanes are clear
 We're gonna drive a little harder
 We'll be deep in the Zone by cryin' time
 Steamin' up
 That Trans-Island Skyway
 Tryin' to make that final deadline
 And if the lanes are clear
 We're gonna drive a little harder
 We'll be deep in the Zone by cryin' time
