Ride The Flume Lyrics - Nomeansno

If I could travel back in time 

I'd go to 1899 

High in the Sierra Hills 

And ride the lumber down the Sanger flume 

The flume 

Ride the flume 

Ride the flume 

Ride the flume 

Watch out for that tree 

Forget log rides in amusement parks 

This one's 50 miles long 

Water slide with four foot sides 

Down the mountain, 60 miles an hour 

Drop through the Devil's Slide 

Four thousand feet in 13 miles 

Miss a curve, ya sail into space 

Hope them 2 x 4's don't break 

The flume 

Ride the flume 

Ride the flume 

Me and you 

Va-va-voom! 

Watch out for that tree 

Watch out for that tree! 

Around 

Around 

To the sides of the cliffs we cling 

The trestle creaks 

As we're swept across the canyon 

100 feet below 

Rickety timbers - please don't fail me now 

Oh no... 

Watch out for that tree 

Watch out for that tree 

Or its pine cone sex face first 

For you and me.
