"AUTOMATIC PILOT"
Soul sister snake
She's no fake
There's no give
It's just take
With soul sister snake
TV Glider's
A pay per view ride
It's a long cool slide
For TV Glider
Automatic Pilot
The revolution's a riot
Automatic Pilot
I'm gonna let you fly it
Right now, right now
Escalator boots
And bamboo shoots
Hey I've got no roots
In my escalator boots
David the whip
He's so hip
He runs a very tight trip
David the whip
Automatic Pilot
The revolution's a riot
Automatic Pilot
I'm gonna let you fly it
Right now, right now
Yuki means snow
Eyes like Bardot
She''s a geisha to go
Yuki means snow
Pablo don't mind
He's a Gingerbread Kind
Left the whole world behind
Now Pablo don't mind
Automatic Pilot
The revolution's a riot
Automatic Pilot
I'm gonna let you fly it
Right now, right now
Automatic Pilot
Automatic Pilot
Fly fly
So fly
