lyrics

Since the beginning of time
Man has wanted to fly
To follow the birds
And swim through the sky

To some it’s a dream,
some a nightmare
But our staff is ready
to teach if you dare

It turns out the secret’s
As easy as this
Just throw yourself at the ground
And miss

CHORUS
We are the Hitchhikers school of flight
We’ll teach you to ignore gravity’s bite
We’ll do strange things just out of your sight
So that you can miss falling just right

It’s hard not to panic or
give way to fright
With the cold hard ground
looming in sight

We are here to distract you
to short circuit your brain
And soon you’ll be hanging out
and mocking a plane

And when you have done it
you’re free wheeling in flight
If you think I can’t do this,
Then you’ll be right

CHORUS

We always have a ready staff
of medics on hand
Because the one thing we don’t teach
Is how to land.

We have flexible terms
Results guaranteed
We don’t take bits of paper
Or pobble beads

Only one short week
It’s just that quick
We’ll teach you how
To float like a brick

And when your done
You’ll be a sky master
So now please pay us
in fresh gargle blasters

This is my favorite album so far. I don't think I've ever felt as seen as when listening to "Mermaids and Queers." "Slytherins and Misunderstood" finally convinced my mom to embrace her Slytherin identity! loquita08
