Florida

Let's go to Florida

Palm trees and shit man (OK)

Palm trees (here we go) and humid weather

It was like a town in Florida in the fifties you know

I don't know, there's a lot of white buildings

They were really white. I could see them

They were about seven or eight stories tall

All the people were walking around

And it just looks so good, you know

They all had, uh, blue dresses and nice pants on

You know they're all of them are drinking pop

From you know with straws in the bottles

Things were lookin' you know, sun was shining so bright

Downtown looked incredible, I couldn't believe it

There was gliders flyin' around in the sky

These guys flying around in gliders, you know

And they'd swoop between the buildings and they

They go down the alley ways, you know

And make a sharp left and a sharp right

And uh, it's like they, I couldn't believe

It was really happening you know

So I said, you know: I don't believe this. This isn't real

And just as I said that, this guy in the glider

Was coming right through the center of town

And he ran into the building in the middle of town

Fifteen story high building, right in the center of town

He started tumbling through the air, you know

And his glider crashed in the alley and, uh

I noticed this couple on the, uh, on the parking lot

And, uh, they, they were just walking together

In conversation you know like nothing

Else was happening and, uh, looking up

They noticed a tumbling man coming through the air

And uh, he, he came right down and landed

Right on them and made and awful sound and, uh

I ran over there, I could see that they

Were really gone, you know

But on the ground beside them was this little baby, dressed in

It just had a red blanket wrapped around it

So I picked it up and took it to my car over on the corner

Which wasn't too far away and put it in the back seat

I don't know if it was a boy or a girl; I didn't look, I just put it down

It was sleeping and I looked and a crowd had gathered on a parking lot

This beautiful lady was coming down the street and I looked at her

And she looked right at me and she said

That's my baby in the back of your car there

I said: Oh no, that baby belongs to that, to that dead couple on the parking lot

And she said: No, no you're wrong, you're wrong

What happened to them?
