NoMeansNo - Ride The Flume lyrics

rate me

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.
