Ride around with Cyril
And you'll see things you'd never believe
You can build a fire in my backyard
From phonebooks, cardboard, and leaves
Oh, Cyril!
You've got to heave it on the highroad
You ought to take me to the hospital
Ride around with Cyril
And you'll se things you'd never believe
You can raise a child out the back of a car
And learn every songbook you sing
Oh, Cyril!
You're just a stranger in a poncho
Give all these people a safe place to go
Whenever I dream of sand, I get a mouthful
Thank you brother for lending a hand
Your soul and your laughter
Oh, Cyril!
I had a dream you were a vulture
You told me anything was possible
Because I've seen it!
I've been it!
I breathed it!
You better believe it!
Get the job done!
Don't leave it!
Put your uniform and red boots on
For healing and dealing
If you're ready and willing
To encounter the grieving
What a beautiful Arizonian feeling!
Oh, Cyril!
I heard you whistling through the pine grove
It made me think of someplace tropical
Oh, Cyril!
I think I hear their sirens
And we ain't waiting for the cops to come
