Booming & Zooming Lyrics - Singles - Tom Tom Club

If they could see me now, Booming and Zooming 

If they could see me now, Booming and Zooming 

F104, come in F104 

C'mon get down F104 

Ho, get back up F104! 

Aw, now, one more time for me on the ground F1-104 get down.. 

'Cause you know and I know it's a private thing at twice the speed of 

Sound blue goes to black. 

You're spinning flat like a skipping stone F104 but don't green apple, 

Ok. We want no defenstrations today, okay? 

F104 where are you at? Play it Kenneth! 

Uh! You think you're staying cool while its getting hot, eh? 

F104 here, uh, stop flapping your gums. 

I wear my own clothes now 

And I don't need you to roll up my sleeves, ok? 

Uh ground here, uh, that's a couple of million, F104. 

F104 here, uh, look this is a private thing 

And I don't want you talking about it 

Down there with your nice friends. 

Cause this is a private thing, ok? 

Cause I've tried A 

And then I've tried be 

And then I've tried C 

But no, I won't green apple. 

Uh, this is the ground F104, get outa there, get outa there F104! 

F104 uh, not to sweat baby, 

It's my hide and I can ride her out. 

This is the ground get down here F104. You and I know who your hide 

Belongs to! 

F104 here, uh, I guess I'm at about 75 thousand feet 

And the rpm's are damn near zero, 

Uh, maybe falling about 150 feet a second, 

Uh, that makes about 9000 feet a minute. 

Uh, Like I said I've tried A 

And I've tried be 

And see, didn't do nothing. 

Just spinning around 

Like a boomerang 

In the sky up here! I reckon. 

I got about one last shot. 

Okay, this is a private thing 

This blue to black 

At twice the speed of sound. 

It's green silent peace, 

With waves around. 

And it's lighting up 

Like a damn Christmas tree in here! 

But we'll ignore what these little lights are saying 

And enjoy the view because 

You know and I know 

It's just that little old problem 

Our boys in Engineering find so entertaining 

This is the ground, come in F104, come in F104, come in F104. 

F104 here, I'd love to talk to you sweetheart 

But this Christmas tree is smoking 

And it's obscuring the view. 

I'm preparing to disintegrate now, 

I'll see you boys 

For a drink on the ground 

At about 1900 hours, okay? BYE! 

If they could see me now, Booming and Zooming 

If they could see me now... 

If they could see me now, Booming and Zooming 

Booming and Zooming
