Run your fingers down the cool underbelly of the blue evening
Crank that vapor-wagon
Start that kick dragon beating
Step out on the patio
Follow where your daddy-o's leading

Wrestle with our shadow twins
Hold'em till they're glowin' in warning
Hit that bubble kit now
Laughin' as you breathe out, easy
Drop another daffodil
We can push on through till morning
Drop another daffodil
Sail off the map until morning

Baby just say no to sleep
Bodies got to keep exploring
Sweet volcano violence, vast new continents spawning
Drop another daffodil
We can push on through till morning
Drop another daffodil
Sail right off the map until morning

Put another record on
Maybe Chaka Khan or Rocky
Catch on fire above the
Green empire of the kraken
Flow with the isosceles
To the beat of six knees knocking

Drop another daffodil
We can push on through till morning
Drop another daffodil
Sail right off the map until morning
