Never Ask Twice Aka Airplane

Madness


Please observe my continental alligator skin line shoulder bag 
I've covered it in stickers from far and wide 
And stuffed it full of suits and matching ties 

I've travelled on the seas and I've travelled on the land 
And there's not a single person I can't understand 
I've forgotten the languages and wave my cash 
I've enjoyed every minute of it with a splash 

I wear a Panama on my Brilcremed hair 
I think I carry it with a certain flair 
When travelling abroad I know the score 
With the voice of authority from the first a-world war 

I went all through to Congo on a magic pleasure knock 
Staving off disease with hallucinogenic drugs 
With a mind-bending root from a local native source 
Made my mind and my body have a premature divorce 

I felt like I was sliding from a massive height 
It seemed like it was morning in the middle of the night 
My eyes were open, though there's nothing much to see 
A swirling mist of images 

The seas are my friend and the skies my home 
When clinging to the arm-rests, I travel alone 
I'm always ready to give advice 
Travelling companions never ask twice 

I've travelled on the seas and I've travelled on the land 
And there's not a single person I can't understand 
I've forgotten the languages and wave my cash 
I've enjoyed every minute of it with a splash 

I've travelled on the seas and I've travelled on the land 
And there's not a single person I can't understand 
I've forgotten the languages and wave my cash 
I've enjoyed every minute of it with a splash
