Nova
First a bunch of flying saucers flew over
Then I smelled the burning metal reek of Nova
And the CIA and Jehova
Said blame it on the bossa nova
Time is on my side
Slime is on my tide
I ride my time slide all the time
I'm lazy
Mickey Mouse is watching from his well-known dial
He knows a miss is as good as a mile
The rescue party's probing through the smoking pile
Time capsules sure are different from time bombs
So I told everybody come on over
If you got another Nova coming over
It's okay to bring another Nova over
You can blame it on the bossa nova
How did primitive man survive
Bound by lust, he couldn't count past five
In the hustle to stay alive
He's sidetracked
He put on clothing and an ordered mind
Left his instincts all far behind
Dropped his rhythm and picked up time
And now he's out there looking for a ride back
Sometimes old awful cold people Nova
Sometimes Don Juans from Villanova Nova
Square and round flat and oval people Nova
They can all blame the bossa nova
Then I smelled the burning metal reek of Nova
And the CIA and Jehova
Said blame it on the bossa nova
Time is on my side
Slime is on my tide
I ride my time slide all the time
I'm lazy
Mickey Mouse is watching from his well-known dial
He knows a miss is as good as a mile
The rescue party's probing through the smoking pile
Time capsules sure are different from time bombs
So I told everybody come on over
If you got another Nova coming over
It's okay to bring another Nova over
You can blame it on the bossa nova
How did primitive man survive
Bound by lust, he couldn't count past five
In the hustle to stay alive
He's sidetracked
He put on clothing and an ordered mind
Left his instincts all far behind
Dropped his rhythm and picked up time
And now he's out there looking for a ride back
Sometimes old awful cold people Nova
Sometimes Don Juans from Villanova Nova
Square and round flat and oval people Nova
They can all blame the bossa nova
