pirate jet

(inspired by Gorillaz's Pirate Jet.)

[2022]

Hop in the jet
And send me the signals
The little numbers read
122479

And so we ride around
Above the clouds
Cup holders full of plastic
In production number 2

So drink up all that plastic
That purple plastic drink
The purple sea below
The purple sun above

Hop in the jet
And run the water low
Run the dams and seas
For 100 years

All good only good
It's all good news now
A jet stream behind us
On either side 10 meters

So drink up all that plastic
That purple plastic drink
The purple people eating
The purple creatures drinking

Hop in the jet
And connect yourself to me
Take a sip again
Take a sip or 2

We'll make this world gray
And connect to the beginning
Take a sip but fast
596 miles per hour

So drink up all that plastic
That purple plastic drink
The purple running taps
The purple pirate jet.
