Artist: nomeansno
Song: ride the flume
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.
