about

A crime story straight out of a crime drama from the 50's. Follow "Ducky" and "Bif" in this tropical adventure down to the coast as they deliver the goods. Bits of Hawaiian steel, ragtime banjo, and country music dominate this happy, agitated track.

lyrics

(This is your pilot speaking uhh
Go ahead and buckle in uhh
We are gonna have some turbulent skies today uhh)

Bloodshot eyes
Towers warn
Bumpy skies
Two hours more

Plane just took off just left the ground
He cant let his buddies down
His brain's flying at the speed of sound
He's got the upper hand

Hasn't slept a wink in days
Everybody seems amazed he's still alive this far.

Bloodshot eyes
Towers warn
Bumpy skies
Two hours more

Three long weeks been on the run
He's takin pills and always spun
I just hope that he don't have gun
He'd have the upper hand

Hasn't slept a wink in days
Every body seems amazed
He's still alive this far

(This is your pilot speaking uhh
If you look out your window to your left uhh
you'll see the scene of the accident)

Bloodshot eyes
Towers warn
Bumpy skies
Two hours more

Bumpy skies
Towers warn
Bloodshot eyes
Two hours more

Bought a plane in Kokomo,
Ducky and Bif and the dough
We're flying south, down to the coast
We've got the upper hand

There's a car waiting when we land
Don't talk just understand
We gotta to stick with the plan

Bloodshot eyes
Towers warn
Bumpy skies
Two hours more

Bluegrass? Alt Country? Mountain Music? They aren't sure.

In fact, they are too busy trying to sell a song or find a meal to really care but they'll hear you out.
