lyrics

Pocket Hang Glider

I wish I had a pocket hang glider with collapsible wings
Well that's some thing I use a lot never forget to bring
One tiny drop of water would activate the bird
And I’d step out defy the void and leave the dreary herd

I wish I had a pocket hang glider, yeah oh yeah
Get out your pocket hang glider, yeah oh yeah

I wish I had a pocket hang glider I'd hold it in my hand
And feel it grow like a gizmo with a 20 foot wingspan
I could see forever and as the sun went down
I'd be suspended by a string far away from any town

Get out your pocket hang glider yeah oh yeah
Get out your pocket hang glider yeah oh yeah

Not much older than a tot,
I dreamed of being an astronaut
I’d close my eyes and start to cry like a fish God had caught
The sparks would turn to purple and then they turn to green
And I'd wake up truly terrified by the things I had seen

Get out your pocket hang glider yeah oh yeah
Get out your pocket hang glider yeah oh yeah
I don’t believe you can separate the mind from the flesh
You can’t upload your memories or your consciousness
I don’t have a pocket hang glider but I have a bird that sings
And I don’t need a time machine to fix anything
Well get out your pocket hang glider yeah oh yeah
Get out your pocket hang glider yeah oh yeah
