Lyrics

A Dog or a Bicycle
If I only had a dog or a bicycle I would fly
cross the bay to the moon to the old man's eye
and I'd eat green cheese and I'd mess with the tides
find me a moon buggy go for a ride
& I'd bring a five-iron & tee off to mars
and inspire near misses in the back seats of cars
pick up the flag and parade it around
& leap like a jester without a sound
If I only had a wristwatch like old James Bond
I'd blast all the bad guys with a green laser bomb
go through their pockets and get all their cash
& give it to a worthy charity like the Executive defense fund
But I'd rather fly to the moon than own a green laser bomb ray
and I'd like to make you swoon, like ladies did in antebellum days
Like young Anastasia in a maze, like Jimi Hendrix singin' purple haze
like my uncle Henry in a daze

If I had a skyscraper I'd take you there
& we could scrape the sky till we just didn't care
and then when all that's done and we're hungry as hell
I'd take you for a gourmet meal at Taco Bell
But I'd rather own a green laser bomb ray than own a skyscraper in downtown LA
Cause it's not the thought that counts so much as the thinker that's thinking the thought
Look at all these damn presents that I brought, and I'm thinking that it's all just for nought
Like doing something bad & getting caught, or seeking something we never should have sought
or thinking something we never should have thought
