It's you and me on a beach
|
In 1998
|
Leaning into the breeze
|
From the willows
|
And rhythm and grace are reborn in this place
|
I'm assured the procedure is painless
|
|
The taxicab with no brakes
|
Around the mountain pass
|
Keep your head in your hands
|
If anybody asks
|
What you mean when you were picking a fight
|
You were only complimenting the waitress
|
|
Give us a room with a mountain view
|
A tiny cabana by the water
|
Yeah, by the water
|
And I got a rental for an hour or two
|
For a ride up the coast and a dip in the ocean
|
|
The waterfront is alight
|
With citronella flame
|
Tourists flashing the night
|
From the grottoes
|
And gathering now on the heel-worn planks
|
For a drunken promenade or a mambo
|
|
And lovers paddle a boat
|
On the molten bay
|
Veering into the reeds
|
On a ripple
|
And playing it cool in a bar by the pool
|
With a Caribbean Kiss Amaretto
|
|
Give us a room with a mountain view
|
A tiny cabana by the water
|
Yeah, by the water
|
And I got a rental for an hour or two
|
For a ride up the coast and a dip in the ocean
|
|
Get a load of the light in the trees
|
And the sweet decay on the maritime breeze
|
The sun's hitching on a weather balloon
|
And the heat off the tarmac
|
Burning a hole in a gold afternoon
|
|
Give us a room with a mountain view
|
A tiny cabana by the water
|
Yeah, by the water
|
And I got a rental for an hour or two
|
And a bottle in a cooler
|
Maps and a big brown towel
|
It's a beater but today will do
|
For a ride up the coast and a dip in the ocean
|
