Pere Ubu - Flat lyrics

In the early part of the 20th Century, Deep inside the American wilderness, In the state of Kansas - 82,000 square miles of flat - There were two automobile cars. On July 5th 1904 they ran into each other. Hey-ho, what do we know?! I thought I heard STOP but I mighta said GO. Some reason I thought about you and me. I remember the day as if my life was flat. I looked up and there you were. I said to myself, Look out honey, here I come! Hey-ho, what do we know?! I thought I heard STOP but I mighta said GO. Flat is all that I see. Flat is all that I see. The train came back. It swallowed up the track. Now flat is all that I see. Flat is all that I see. What do we know?! I thought I heard STOP but I mighta said GO. In the days you been gone I thought about them two cars. Weather conditions had been reasonable, visibility fine. I said to myself, What was it? An idea whose time had come? Or maybe it had, it had just seemed like a good idea at the time? Hey-ho, what do we know?! I thought I heard STOP but I mighta said GO. Hey-ho, what do we know?! I thought I heard STOP but I mighta said GO.
