"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
