Nova - Holy Modal Rounders, Steve Weber

First a bunch of flying saucers flew over

Then I smelled the burning metal reek of Nova

And the CIA and Jehovah

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
