Matt Mahaffey on the writing of “Suzie Q Sailaway”:
That was written for this toy-instrument record we’re doing – it was written on toy instruments. My dad was in town, and he’s always saying, “When are you gonna grow up?” He thinks music is strictly a hobby – he’s kinda from the hills. And I said,...
[Verse 1]
I'm holding a grudge on her mind
While kids with laser pointers try to fry mine
The sky is falling as we patch it with twine
I said the sky is falling, run for your lives
[Chorus]
Somewhere, some way, somehow
I need airplanes just to bring her down
She's so high, so far off the ground
Suzie Q Sailaway, just not right now
[Verse 2]
She climbed the trees behind the house
Had to call the fire department to get her down
Feet to the branches, from the branch to the wind
She shot skyward before they could begin
[Chorus]
Somewhere, some way, somehow
I need airplanes just to bring her down
She's so high, so far off the ground
Suzie Q Sailaway, just not right now
[Breakdown]
She's so high (she's so high)
She's so high (she's so high)
She's so high
[Solo]
[Verse 3]
I can't be Superman today (he can't be Superman, he)
She's taken my "up, up, and away" (taken "up, up, and away," she's)
The sky is falling and I've just begun
To salvage pieces 'cause they'll be worth a ton
[Chorus]
Somewhere, some way, somehow
I need airplanes just to bring her down
She's so high, so far off the ground
