lyrics

On a Southern line, I escaped the news, I’d be lonely all my life,
When I’d wake against my bruise-d will, on a cautionary flight,
To an island off the island chain of Never Doin’ Right,
I’ve been up against it. I’ve been up against it, yeah.

On a Florida, night, was a Florida Man, who had tired of his wife,
So he held a rifle to her neck, in an after-bar room fight.
Then we run like Bo, to a nabe we know, but he wouldn’t drop the dime,
We were up against it. We’ve been up against it, y’all.

On a Southern night, was a Florida Man, who had met his future life,
And they swung beneath the yaupon trees, and the stars were shining…
But it won’t be long, ‘til the human song, goes gently in the night.
We were up against it. We are up against it now.

‘Cause the Yankees are under attack, and we ain’t down with that,
But The Slumlord just gives us away, and The Rodman feels his powers slip away.

On a starry night, we eclipsed the moon, now there’s only love in life,
Wakin’ up beside you, all is well, on our transgalactic flight,
And at eight miles high, we kissed goodbye, and froze each other’s life,
We were waitin’ to be born again,
We were waitin’ to be born again,
Always waitin’ to be born again,
We’re all waitin’ to be born again.
