The Holy Modal Rounders - Nova lyrics

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
