Magic Carpet
Nutty Boys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am the little white liar who lights up the desires
Of unsuspecting self indulging fools neverending
In their quest for bending the golden rule
"E" on every corner crack for little Jack Horner
Who laughs hysterically at the mourner trying to pull him
Up from the ground can't he see there's no peace for the wicked
Or the likes of you and me so
Hop aboard this magic carpet ride
(There's no turning back once you decide)
Welcome aboard this magic carpet ride
(There's no pulling out in me you can confide)
You've got to make up your own mind
Just where it is you're destined to
Don't let anyone downheart or dissuade you
You're on a straight course Ride on through!!
The eagle eye is sleeping so into your thoughts I'm creeping
Not sure of what you're feeling could be your wet dreaming
Or oh! is this the real thing or just another rehearsal
Of the act you were born to
Hop aboard my magic carpet ride
(There's no turning back once you decide)
Welcome aboard this magic carpet ride
(There's no pulling out in me you can confide)
You've got to make up your own mind
Just where it is you're destined to
Don't let anyone downheart or dissuade you
You're on a straight course Ride on through!!
You've got to make up your own mind
Just where it is you're destined to
Don't let anyone downheart or dissuade you
You're on a straight course




Ride on through!!
(And if you're working)
