Let's go to Florida
Palm trees and shit man
Palm trees and humid weather
It was like a town in Florida in the, in the fifties, you know
I don’t know, there's a lot of white buildings
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 it just looks so good, you know
They all had, uh, blue dresses and nice pants on you know
They’re, all of them are drinkin’ pop
From, you know, with straws in the bottles
Things were lookin’, you know, sun was shining so bright
The downtown looked incredible, I couldn’t believe it
There was gliders flyin’ around in the sky
These guys flying around in gliders, you know
And they’d swoop between the buildings and they
They'd go down the alleyways you know
And make a sharp left and a sharp right
And, uh, it’s like they,
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 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 nothing else was happening and, uh
Looking up they noticed a 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 really gone, you know
But on the ground beside them
Was this little baby, dressed in
It just had a red blanket wrapped around it,
So I picked it up and took it to my car
Over on the corner which wasn’t too far away
And I put it in the back seat. I don’t know if it was
A boy or a girl; I didn’t look, 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 looked at her and she looked right at me and she said
“That's my baby in the back of your car there.”
I said “Oh no, that baby belongs to that, to that dead couple on the parking lot.”
And she said “No, no you’re wrong, you’re wrong. What happened to them?”
[from the Tonight's The Night insert]
It was town like Florida in the fifties, buildings eight stories high, except for a few ten stories and one fifteen right in the center of town. The whole place sparkled with clarity. Everyone was wearing colorful clothes. People drank coca colas through straws on street corners. Men were gliding in gliders above the streets, turning corners between the buildings and soaring up alleyways. It was unbelievable. I said "Hey, how do those guys soar around the city like that? It all looks too good. Why don't they crash into the buildings?"
Just then one of the gliders crashed into the fifteen story building in the center of town. The man came tumbling head over heels through the air like some sort of wounded superman. He tumbled dead towards me. With me on the parking lot were a young couple. They were walking together in conversation, looking up, the noticed the tumbling man. He fell on top of them making a sluggish sound on the pavement
Off to the side of the three dead bodies I noticed a baby wrapped in a pretty red blanket. I picked up the child and put it (I don't remember if it was a boy or girl) in a car parked on the street. A crowd was gathering around the parking lot. A beautiful lady came towards me on the street. She looked inside the parked car. "That's my baby in there" she said. "No", I said, "This baby belongs to that dead couple on the parking lot." "No, you're wrong" she said, "What happened to them?"
