No current is waned where it wants to go Some are only happy in the throes of bitter arguments Ready and packed To ride there by train ride, by plane ride, by walking Or from the insides
I can't deal with Pittsville Direkt I don't wanna go Pittsville Direkt No, no, no, no, Pittsville Direkt Yes, yes, yes, Pittsville Direkt
Stood off the train platform Crushed cig in cup FDA regulation state Boarded at gate Plane rides
I can't deal with Pittsville Direkt I don't wanna trip to Pittsville Direkt No love lost in Pittsville Direkt
And meanwhile From New York to Skegness They don't ask your telephone silk
I don't wanna go Pittsville Direkt No, no, no, no, Pittsville Direkt Please don't please Pittsville Direkt Many a jest in Pittsville Direkt
By plane ride By train ride What are they doing to Bournemouth City Park West? Why have they got those masks on?
I wanna exit Pittsville Direkt I'm correct about Pittsville Direkt The citizens of Pittsville Direkt will be out scaring ghosts (Around midnight)
Ride out to where the planets roam (FDA regulation states) Drive carefully! Mother to be on board (FDA regulation states)
Boarding now from Pittsville Direkt
