Lyric Never Ask Twice Aka Airplane

Please observe my continental alligator skin line shoulder bag
I ve covered it in stickers from far and wide
And stuffed it full of suits and matching ties

I ve travelled on the seas and I ve travelled on the land
And there s not a single person I can t understand
I ve forgotten the languages and wave my cash
I ve enjoyed every minute of it with a splash

I wear a Panama on my Brilcremed hair
I think I carry it with a certain flair
When travelling abroad I know the score
With the voice of authority from the first a-world war

I went all through to Congo on a magic pleasure knock
Staving off disease with hallucinogenic drugs
With a mind-bending root from a local native source
Made my mind and my body have a premature divorce

I felt like I was sliding from a massive height
It seemed like it was morning in the middle of the night
My eyes were open, though there s nothing much to see
A swirling mist of images

The seas are my friend and the skies my home
When clinging to the arm-rests, I travel alone
I m always ready to give advice
Travelling companions never ask twice

I ve travelled on the seas and I ve travelled on the land
And there s not a single person I can t understand
I ve forgotten the languages and wave my cash
I ve enjoyed every minute of it with a splash

I ve travelled on the seas and I ve travelled on the land
And there s not a single person I can t understand
I ve forgotten the languages and wave my cash
I ve enjoyed every minute of it with a splash
