Etceteranough?

Fire it up, fire it up
When we finally turn it over
Make a B-line towards the border
Have a drink, you’ve had enough

Fire it up, fire it up
If you need some conversation
Bring a magazine to read around
Our broke down transportation

Fire it up
Etceteranough?

Fire it up, fire it up
When we find the perfect water
We’ll hang out on the shore
Just long enough to leave our clothes there

Fine enough, fine enough
Oh we ate all of the oranges
Off the navels of our lovers
Grabbed a book and read the cover

It honestly was beautifully done
We’d tried to hide the daylight from the sun
But even if we had been sure enough it’s true we really didn’t know
Even if we knew which way to head but still we probably wouldn’t go

Fire it up, fire it up
We pushed off we’re rolling boulders
Crashing down the mirrored stairways
Two of life’s best mine canaries

Fire it up, fire it up
When we fix the carburetor
Then we’ll push off once again
In an hour or so later

It honestly was beautifully bold
Like trying to save an ice cube from the cold
But even if we had been sure enough it’s true we really didn’t know
Even if we knew which way to head but still we probably wouldn’t go

Well we always had it all
