Earthbound to Johnny boy just picked up your message 
'Bout those Balinese ikats you thought I might buy 
Now your voice on my machine is more alive than what you are 
Since your daredevil hang glider fell out of the sky 
Now Armand's looked all over but he can't find your car keys 
Were they under the tire? Were they under the seat?

Kick back in with a vengeance for the last act of the show 
Going too far too fast in that final wing over 
As your glider comes tumbling out of the clouds 
And you clutch at your chest but the chute never opens 
And they find you there tangled in that white nylon shroud 
When we get Grandma's number I think I'll just say to her 
Your Johnny's home for Christmas, it was a hell of a ride 
And I
