Bungee Jumping Boogie scrapes the rust from off your feet Diving like a multicoloured human parakeet Better than a roller-coaster, happy birthday treat Your death-defying present is the envy of the street You crazy kid? I’m crazy Gravitation with a twist like we did last summer Your heart plays the beat of an inner drummer No partner to sing to, no other beat to swing to Better get a human parachute for you to cling to So cool. Oh yeah. But no one’s laughing’ As you reenter earth in a vertical coffin The end of winter, spring and summer Your heart plays the part of the little drummer … A hundred and eighty! You got it. You mad. You bad, you crazy sad. You left your brain on the launching pad. Don’t be foolish it’s not even coolish Even your bestie thinks it’s ghoulish Nah! He’s the one gave me this Prezzie The thrill, so visceral, so tactile Brings out your inner pterodactyl The downward plunge towards the floor This dude’s got wings like a dinosaur Dinosaurs don’t fly Pterodactyls do Ten, nine, eight, seven Down to earth or up to heaven? Faith don’t do reliability. You gotta bet on umbilical elasticity On your ankles? You got it. Then the plunge into the unknown Fears you never thought you’d own Hope and feelings feed your dread Future hanging by a thread Down and down feel the acceleration Heading to reduce the population of the nation. Then, the final slowing down Just when you thought you were smashing to the ground. Slows, to a halt postponing death Gently hauled up, closely followed by her breath Out of the jaws of a whale or an Alligator Safe as if stepping from an Otis Elevator Never before? Never before Do it again? Never again Finito
