Etcetera-nough, etcetera-nough Etcetera-nough, etcetera-nough Etcetera-nough, etcetera-nough Etcetera-nough, etcetera-nough Fire it up, fire it up When we finally turn it over Make a beeline towards the boat or Have a drink, you've had enough Fire it up, fire it up If you need some conversation Bring a magazine to read around Our broke down transportation Fire it up Etcetera-nough Etcetera-nough Etcetera-nough Fire it up, fire it up When we fine the perfect water We'll hang out on the shore Just long enough to leave our clothes there Fine enough, fine enough Oh, we ate all of the oranges Off the navels of our lovers Grabbed a book and read the cover It honestly was beautifully done Like trying to hide the daylight from the sun But even if we had been sure enough, it's true, we really didn't know Even if we knew which way to head, but, still, we probably wouldn't go Fire it up, fire it up We pushed off, we're rolling boulders Crashing down the mirrored stairways To a blast basement canaries Fire it up, fire it up When we fix the carburetor Then we'll push off once again In an hour or so later It honestly was beautifully bold Like trying to save an ice cube from the cold Even if we had been sure enough, it's true, we really didn't know Even if we knew which way to head, but, still, we probably wouldn't go Well, we always, well, we always Had it all, had it all Well, we always, well, we always Had it all, had it all Well, we always, well, we always Had it all
