Surf And / Or Die Lyrics - Walter Becker

Earthbound to Johnny boy just picked up your message 

'Bout those Balinese ikats you thought I might buy 

Now your voice on my machine is more alive than what you are 

Since your daredevil hang glider fell out of the sky 

Now Armand's looked all over but he can't find your car keys 

Were they under the tire? Were they under the seat? 

Because as it stands now your beloved white Aires 

Is fair game for the vandals up on Makapuu Street 

And your grandmother's number, we know it's here somewhere 

But Suze can't seem to find it, now she's losing control 

And so what about her, and little Eldon and Layla 

And that hypothetical spectre, your gilt-edged soul 

Which defied many perils, in the face of all reason 

And in so many settings and for all your young years 

Insisting on pure freedom for its too-short season 

Riding high on its ration of enchantment and fear 

Over the hill and into the next meadow and on and on and on

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

In a near random universe there are still certain combinations 

Picked out from all other possible ones 

Which, when given some time and the just-right circumstances 

Not too far from the earth or too close to the sun 

They will dance and they'll spin in the embrace of the trade winds 

Playing havoc with the hearts and the upturned faces down below 

Until the laws of curved spacetime, susponed without warning 

Kick back in with a vengeance for the last act of the show 

Going too far too fast in that final wing over 

As your glider comes tumbling out of the clouds 

And you clutch at your chest but the chute never opens 

And they find you there tangled in that white nylon shroud 

When we get Grandma's number I think I'll just say to her 

Your Johnny's home for Christmas, it was a hell of a ride 

And I know that some day you'll be showing me those blankets 

All covered in glory on the hereafter side, saying 

There was never any question, it was always all or nothing 

Surf and/or die
