Time Traveller

No matter what you hit on
Make sure you don't slip on
Anything that made you get a bad trip on
Open up, lock on, don't be stuck on
The road is always popping
When I walk on with a Mac on
I am traveler (Hey, hey), time traveler
Centre at the star, 'til the centre of a Nebula
Traveler, time traveler
Centre at the star, 'til the centre of a Nebula
Gonna go nirvana
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
Driving in my vimaana
(Hey, hey, hey, hеy)
Wanna go nirvana?
(Hey, hey, hey, hеy)
I'll take you in my vimaana
(Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy)
Vroom vroom in a car (Ha)
Vroom vroom on a bike (Hey)
Zoom zoom on a train (Hey)
And zoom zoom on a flight ([?])
Vroom vroom in a car (Ha)
Vroom vroom on a bike ([?])
Zoom zoom on a train
And zoom zoom on a flight (Ah)
Ali Baba played the tabula, bring it like a smuggler
Bubbler of the molecular, I can be your leveller
Saw me on the Tumblr, are you single, I'm a Tamilar
Love like a snuggler, like Sita and Rama
Talking about Shiva, the queen of Sheba (Ha)
From Ethiopia in the time of Pangea
Go to India, keep it on the linear
Go to Sri Lanka, Vavuniya to Virgina
I am traveler (Hey), time traveler (Hey, hey)
Centre of the star
Centre at the star, 'til the centre of a Nebula
Traveler, time traveler
Centre at the star, 'til the centre of a Nebula
Gonna go nirvana
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
Driving in my vimaana
(Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy)
Wanna go nirvana?
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
I'll take you in my vimaana
(Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy)
Vroom vroom in a car (ha)
Vroom vroom on a bike (hey)
Zoom zoom on a train (hey)
And zoom zoom on a flight ([?])
Vroom vroom in a car (ha)
Vroom vroom on a bike ([?])
Zoom zoom on a train
And zoom zoom on a flight (ah)
Carangi like Gia, pretty like a deer
Throw that sphere, destroy that fear (woo)
Carangi like Gia, pretty like a deer
Throw that sphere, destroy that fear
Intercellular, they say: Are you Tamilar?
I say: I'm a traveler pretending to be a regular
In the realms of Himalaya you don't need a fibula (woo)
When I flow around I'm racy like Formula (woo)
I am traveler, time traveler (Woo, woo)
(Woo, woo, woo, woo)
Centre at the star, 'til the centre of a Nebula
Traveler, time traveler
Centre at the star, 'til the centre of a Nebula
Gonna go nirvana
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
Driving in my vimaana
(Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy)
Wanna go nirvana?
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
I'll take you in my vimaana
(Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy)
Vroom vroom in a car (ha)
Vroom vroom on a bike (hey)
Zoom zoom on a train (hey)
And zoom zoom on a flight ([?])
Vroom vroom in a car (ha)
Vroom vroom on a bike ([?])
Zoom zoom on a train
And zoom zoom on a flight (ah)
Woo
