Neil Young - Florida lyrics
[Neil Young - Florida lyrics]
Let's go to Florida
Palm trees and shit, man (Okay, here we go)
Palm trees and humid weather
It was like a town in Florida
In the, in the fifties, you know?
I don't know
There was a lot of white buildings and
They were really white, I could see them
They were about seven or eight stories tall
All the
All the people were walking around and
Just looked so good, you know
They all had their, uh
Blue dresses and nice pants on
You know, and they're
All of 'em are drinking pop
From, you know, with straws in the bottles
Things were lookin', you know
Sun was shinin' so bright
The downtown looked incredible
I couldn't believe it
There were gliders flyin' around in the sky
This guy is flying around
In gliders, you know, and they
They'd swoop between the buildings and they
They'd go down the alleyways, you know
And they make a sharp left and a sharp right
And, uh, it's like I
I couldn't believe that it
Was really happening, you know?
So I said, you know, "I don't believe this
This isn't real" and just as I said that
This guy in the glider
Was coming right through the center of town
And he ran into the building
In the middle of town
Fifteen-story high building
Right in the center of town
He started tumbling through the
Air, you know, and, uh
His glider crashed in the alley and, uh
I noticed this couple on the, uh
On the parking lot
And, uh, they they were just
Walking together in conversation, you know?
Like, uh, nothing else was happening
And, uh, looking up
They noticed the tumbling man
Coming through the air and, uh, he
He came right down and landed right on them
And made an awful sound and, uh
I ran over there, I could see that they were
They were really gone, you know
But on the ground beside them
Was this little baby, uh, dressed in
It just had a red blanket wrapped around it
So I picked it up and took it to my car
You know, over on the corner
Which wasn't too far away
And I put it in the back seat
I don't know whether it was a boy or a girl
I, I didn't look, you know
I just put it down
It was sleeping and I looked and a
Crowd had gathered on the parking lot
This beautiful lady was coming
Down the street and I, I looked at her
And she looked right at me and I she said
"That's my baby in the back
Of your car there" i said, "Oh, no, no
No, that baby belongs to that
To that dead couple on the parking lot"
And, uh, she said, "No, no, you're wrong
You're wrong what happened to them?"
Palm trees and shit, man (Okay, here we go)
