[Intro: Wayne Coyne]
One, two, three, four

[Verse 1: Wayne Coyne]
It’s been a long, cold winter
Feels like it's been forever, yeah
We both travelin'
I’m somewhere south of Wichita
You're somewhere up there under the moon
I can't see you

[Refrain: Wayne Coyne]
Flying along, the engines hummin'
Jesus and the spaceships comin' down (down, down, down)
Oh, and I just can't imagine
Life without you could ever happen (now, now, now, now)

[Pre-Chorus: Wayne Coyne]
It's you and me, you and me
You and me, you and me

[Chorus: Wayne Coyne]
We a family, we a family, we a family
We a family, we a family, we a family

[Verse 2: Miley Cyrus]
It’s been a long hot summer
I miss you, it's a bummer, yeah
We both travelin'
You're somewhere south of Wichita
I'm up here somewhere under the moon
I can’t see you

[Refrain: Miley Cyrus]
Flyin' along, the engines hummin'
Jesus and the spaceships comin' (down, down, down, down)
Oh, and I just can't imagine
Life without you ever happen now (now, now now)

[Pre-Chorus: Wayne Coyne + Miley Cyrus]
It's you and me, you and me
You and me, you and me

[Chorus: Wayne Coyne + Miley Cyrus]
We a family, we a family, we a family
We a family, we a family, we a family
We a family, we a family, we a family
We a family

[Outro: Wayne Coyne]
We a family
[laughing]

The Flaming Lips are an American rock band from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Formed in 1983 as a small-town noise rock foursome, The Flaming Lips have gone through numerous lineup changes and style reinventions, ultimately settling on a consistent core in the late 1990s with frontman Wayne Coyne, chief composer Steven Drozd, and bassist Michael Ivins putting out sublime pop-rock with grandiose synth-orchestral backing arrangements.

Notable former band members include Wayne’s brother Mark Coyne, who was the band’s first vocalist, Jonathan Donahue, who went on to become the frontman of Mercury Rev, guitarist Ronald Jones, and roadie turned tour drummer Kliph Scurlock.

Once Wayne took over as frontman in the late 1980s, the Lips were known for their loud, psychedelic guitar rock (an aesthetic best summed up in the name of an early works compilation “Finally, the Punk Rockers Are Taking Acid”) and wild stage antics.
