Inca Roads Lyrics

Did a vehicle
Come from somewhere out there
Just to land in the Andes?
Was it round
And did it have
A motor
Or was it
Something
Different

Did a vehicle
Did a vehicle
Did a vehicle
Fly along the mountains
And find a place to park itself
Park it
Se-e-e-elf
PARK IT . . . PARK IT

Or did someone
Build a place
To leave a space
For such a thing to land

Did a vehicle
Come from somewhere out there
Did a vehicle come
From somewhere out there
Did the Indians, first on the bill
Carve up the hill

Did a booger-bear
Come from somewhere out there
Just to land in the Andes?
Was she round
And did she have a motor
Or was she something different

Guacamole Queen
Guacamole Queen
Guacamole Queen

At the Armadillo in Austin Texas, her aura,
Or did someone build a place
Or leave a space
for Chester's Thing to land
Chester's Thing . . . on Ruth
Did a booger-bear
Come from somewhere out there
Did a booger-bear
Come from somewhere out there
Did the Indians, first on the bill
Carve up her hill
On Ruth
On Ruth
That's Ruth

Could be talking about MACHU PICHU. Then again, probably filled with Zappa "in-jokes" Chester is probably Chester Thompson (drums) and Ruth is Ruth Underwood (Xylophone). Regardless - excelllllllllent musicianship on this one.

The lines "carve up the hill" and concept of Inca roads in general are supposed to be references to the Nazca Lines in Peru, which some believe to be runways for UFOs.

Add in some mispronounciation fun, the first time you hear PARK-IT......you can figure out what it would sound like....

Seems To be about the Nazca lines of Peru in the first part.
