The Ballad of the Ether Thief
The ballad of the ether thief
Verse:
Early morning he arrived
He was well prepared,
He filled a jar with ether,
And put it in his bag.
His TA made a comment,
Dont you guys feel dizzy too,
He made eye contact with her,
And he was sure she knew
He grabbed a glass of acetone,
And splashed it in her face,
He ran out of the lab and
Thus begun the race
The glass in his hand,
Made sure not to spill,
He knew them laws
And he knew the drill
Chorus:
They are after him, but they’ll
Never slow ‘em down,
A man with a plan knows
How to flee the town
They are shouting slow down!
But he never was the kind,
He got freedom in his soul
And ether on his mind
Verse:
He was out from the building,
He quickly hit the road,
His bike popped a tire,
So he no longer rode,
He stole a car,
A Mustang GT,
He drove to the highway
With the jar between his knee.
He reached the border when they
Shot his tire flat,
He jumped out and pulled out
A gun from his hat.
Chorus 2:
They are after him,
Causing much frustration,
A man with a plan knows
How to flee the nation
They are shouting don’t shoot!
But he was quite the kind,
He got freedom in his soul
And ether on his mind
Verse:
He was the last man standing
He pocketed the jar,
And started running east,
He got quite far,
He went to Transylvania,
As it was stolen too,
He got on a plane,
And all the way to texas, flew,
He stole another mustang,
But this time, a horse,
Many tried to stop him,
But there wasn’t enough force
His plan was real clear,
He’s going to the moon,
His secret lover, Genevieve
Would see him soon,
Chorus 3:
They are after him,
But he never stopped to mope,
A man with a plan knows
How to flee the globe
They are shouting give up!
But he never was the kind,
He got freedom in his soul
And ether on his mind.
Verse:
He got to NASA,
But at the entrance stood,
A country ranger, gun in hand,
He seemed quite the prude,
He grabbed his own weapon,
But the ranger was too fast,
He got a bullet in the chest,
And soon after he passed
Chorus 4:
They were after him,
And they managed to stop him
The country ranger saw them,
And shot them on a whim
His goal was the ether,
And he got quite far,
His soul turned to smoke,
Like the ether in the jar.
