Surprise, Arizona

[jeff robertson]

as FLVXXVM FLORVM

A suite in 2.5 parts.

Part 1: The Arizona Horizon

sell the house, sell the car
don't tell no one where we are
let's run to the desert and survive

pull the kids out of school
tell them that we're no one's fool
let's run to the desert and survive

there's always a surprise on
the Arizona horizon

buy a truck, buy a gun
drive into the setting run
let's run to the desert and survive

pack your liquor, pack your drugs
learn to live on roots and bugs
let's run to the desert and survive

there's always a surprise on
the Arizona horizon

(keyboard solo)

search for water, dig a well
if you see somebody - run like hell
let's go to the desert and survive

find a spot atop a hill
when you see them coming, shoot to kill!
let's go to the desert and survive

there's always a surprise on
the Arizona horizon

Part 2: Mushroom Cloud Dance in E Mixolydian Flat 6

(instrumental, guitar solo)

Part 2.5: Sunrise, Arizona

You and I have to leave this city
'Cos it does not generate pity
You say, hey, let's go outside, I
Dont care where, so you decide!

Where you choose, I'd need a diploma
To find on a map; there's nowhere remoter.
Yes its lonely, but I'm a loner -
Surprise, surprise, we're in Arizona!

I am an intellectual baby
Cornfield thinking is unsavoury
But wake up every day feeling lazy
All this silence drives me crazy

I dont want to be a moaner
But i never ever was a roamer.
All this space gives me terror boner -
Surprise, surprise, we're in Arizona!

Wanderlust or bust; won't make a fuss 'cos it's needs must -
We cant afford a property back in the lovely city

Sitting ugly or sitting pretty
We should never have left the city
Think what you like 'bout the great outdoors
As it opens its hungry jaws ...

Suprise, Arizona
as Double Me Double U
Lyrics by CynicalMonkey

Packed up my last box, taped, labelled and sealed
Saved time for one last look, take a break from what's real

Drove away, saw you wave in my rear view
Wish I could stay; I’d give it all to be near you

Our entwined rivers no longer run clear blue.
So I ran, oh, so I ran
My cousin called, with a job and a way out
Cross the country, give us space let it play out

I thought I owed ya, because you rescued me
But I didn’t know another way to get free

Surprise Arizona, now population me
Where I am

6 months passed by, still tasting your chapstick
Moon high at night making me homesick

Only see the good times, forget what we had
See what was lost, ignore all the bad

Rose coloured memories in a brown paper bag
Because I can, just because I can

I wrote it all in a letter, I posted it to you
Now things are better and rivers running blue
Now rivers running blue
In Suprise, Arizona I’ll be waiting for you!

[the panna cotta army]

Surprise Arizona
the pannacotta army

Pushing the boundaries
That ain’t for us
Nothing exotic
Or adventurous
We’re not ambitious
With where we go
Something familiar
Somewhere we know

Surprise, Arizona
You weren’t expecting that
Surprise, Arizona
I kept it under my hat

Heading for Tucson
On Interstate 10
Hasn’t been that long
But we’re back again
Don’t want to venture
Into the unknown
Everything’s easy
In our comfort zone

Surprise, Arizona
You weren’t expecting that
Surprise, Arizona
I kept it under my hat

[Duncan]

In Surprise, Arizona
I met Mona from Sedona
Now we’re chasing gigs in Kingman
And Bullhead City

Southwest stress test
Don't know where I'll be next
Might be out in phoenix
Or old El Paso

Rendered out to Denver
Cheyenne returned to sender
Shirkin’ all my work duties
in Albuquerque

Short term rentals by the day
Stick a fork in East LA
Lookin back on Luckenbach
and Texarkana

Southwest stress test
Don't know where I'll be next
Might be out in phoenix
Or North Las Vegas

My bank says no to Fresno
And there'll be no more Reno
I can't pay for Santa Fe
or Salt Lake City

(slow)
Last time I saw Jerry almost
Settled down and married
But the market's looking scary
in Tucumcari

Southwest stress test
Don't know where I'll be next
Might be out in phoenix
Or Pahrump Valley

(Inst)

My van blown in San Antone
Bumpers lost near half its chrome
Can’t bear the cost in Austin
Or Corpus Christi

They took care of me in Laramie
But Custer lost its luster
I could live off charity
in Cedar City

Southwest stress test
Don't know where I'll be next
Might be out in phoenix
Or Tuba City

(Inst)

My cousin set the bar low
Bought a house in Barstow
Couldn’t make a deal in Bakersfield
or San Ber'dino

The Salton Sea is calling me
Way on beyond Tehachapi
Movin’ on to Tucson
Or Alamogordo

Southwest stress test
Wasted youth but came to rest
All the best from Truth
or Consequences

Goodbye, Pennsylvania
Hoped that I would stay
Thought I'd live here forever
Didn't work out that way.

But I can go anywhere, anywhere, anywhere
And I can breathe
I can go anywhere, anywhere, anywhere
And I am free

Hello, Mississippi
I'm just passing through
Don't like all your people
Don't think I love you

But I can go anywhere, anywhere, anywhere
And I am free
I can go anywhere, anywhere, anywhere
And I can breathe

All those wasted years and all that pain
After all this time I can breathe again... can breathe again.

Surprise, Arizona
You weren't expecting me
Prayed on it forever.
You're where I need to be.

And I can be anywhere, anywhere, anywhere
And I am free
I can be anywhere, anywhere, anywhere
And I can breathe


And I can be anywhere, anywhere, anywhere
And I am free
I can be anywhere, anywhere, anywhere
And I can breathe

Pigfarmer Jr

She went ahead and she found us a place
And I'd follow her later on
But feeling too lonely and tired of delays
I couldn't stand it after she'd gone

Into Oklahoma
Out of Missouri
Pass through Northern Texas
Onto Albuquerque
Wanna take a detour but
I don't think I'm gonna
Trying to get to Arizona
Surprise...
Surprise...
Surprise...

I drove all night just to get back to her
But I didn't want to let her know
Mile after mile I kept pushing through
I pushed right through dawn's early glow

Into Oklahoma
Out of Missouri
Pass through Northern Texas
Onto Albuquerque
Wanna take a detour but
I don't think I'm gonna
Trying to get to Arizona
Surprise...
Surprise...
Surprise...

I was surprised by the look on her face
But not as surprised as her
I never suspected that she'd cheat on m e
Never expected the hurt

Into Oklahoma
Out of Missouri
Pass through Northern Texas
Onto Albuquerque
Wanna take a detour but
I don't think I'm gonna
Trying to get to Arizona

Into Oklahoma
Out of Missouri
Pass through Northern Texas
Onto Albuquerque
Wanna take a detour but
I don't think I'm gonna
Trying to get to Arizona
Surprise...
Surprise...
I guess she didn't expect to see me that day
Surprise...
Surprise...
I sure as hell didn't expect it to end that way!

In the heart of the desert, where dreams come alive, There's a place full of joy, where the sun will always thrive, It's a city so charming, with a magic in the air, Welcome to Surprise, Arizona, .
(Chorus) Surprise, Arizona, where dreams unfold, A hidden gem shining bright, a story yet untold, From the mountains to the valleys, a tapestry of delight, Surprise, Arizona, .

Surprise, Arizona
by WreckdoM

Gonna punch through the atmosphere
Suit up and strut the fuck right on outta here
Gonna Fly-i-hi-hi into the cosmos
It will be boss, it will be the most
You kiss my entire spaceman ass
Flyin' around in my rocket powered Chevy van
You can kiss this antigravity bitch bye bye
And I ain't never gonna miss your shit surprise.

You see, back on Earth, we had what was called a fruit cellar, and, we didn't have any indoor plumbing, you see, so I would allow my night soil to tumble down into yon cellar and rest with prior nocturns. Now that I live in space, my dispensins are eaten by a tentacle, and my person is cleaned meticulous like by a tongue. It's very thorough. It's bliss.

Gonna shoot through the galactic soup
Walkin' on the stars in my magic boots
Gonna ride upon Robert Anton Wilson
Gonna spend all night polishing my instruments

Verse One:
I’m not afraid of what the consequences bring
I’ll leave you be, so you may go and do your thing

Chorus One
When I look into your eyes
I can see through your disguise
I would love to get to know ya
Here in Surprise, Arizona

Verse Two
We had our rendezvous on a random tennis court
I’m just in town for Royal Kansas City sport

Chorus Two
I’m not much like other guys
Pound foolish and penny wise
Is this you, or a persona?
Here in Surprise, Arizona

Bridge
Soon I’ll be gone
As quickly as I appeared
Will you be coming back
For Spring Training next year?

Chorus Three
I look forward to our hot nights
Before the world sees its demise
The last bite of our ambrosia
Hits our tongues like a supernova
I’m not great at goodbyes
We’ll bid adieu at the sunrise
It’s been nice to get to know ya
Here in Surprise, Arizona
