Lyrics
Well there were covert conditions surrounding our mission When we were called to go And the powers that be summoned you and me To help prove what they think they know Estamos borrachos y cancioneros Verified and tried and true So Special Ops issued us flip flops, a guitar and a week or two We found a place that's not a where A time that's not a when Where there is not a why in sight at all And the speed of light is the pace of the sun's rise and fall And in this place that's not a where This time that's not a when Where there is not a why in sight at all We'd like to extend our stay…cancel our wake up call The insertion point was a lively little joint Where operations would begin So we filled our cups so as to loosen up and to blend right in We told HQ, "We'll contact you, should we need you anymore" "We'll send official word, yeah fly you the bird!" "That's the homing pigeon!!!!" "Or by semaphore…right!" We found a place that's not a where A time that's not a when Where there is not a why in sight at all And the speed of light is the pace of the sun's rise and fall And in this place that's not a where This time that's not a when Where there is not a why in sight at all We'd like to extend our stay…cancel our wake up call The good guys and the bad guys They never work past noon 'round here We made our mark upon the map but the ink just disappeared [Guitar solo] Well our final report, in code, five-letters-short Was written out by hand It was truthful, subversive, on purpose, in cursive Scribbled seaside in the sand Well we made quite clear we volunteer To stay right where we are Belay the extraction, we're missing in action, and F*U*B*A*R! We found a place that's not a where A time that's not a when And there is not a why in sight at all The speed of the light is the pace of the sun's rise and fall And in this place that's not a where This time that's not a when Where there is not a why in sight at all We'd like to extend our stay Got dreamin' to do today Just doin' our job anyway Now cancel our wake up call Cancel our wake up call (cancel our wake up call) Cancel our wake up call (cancel our wake up call) Cancel our wake up call (cancel our wake up call)
