My hotel is blue
|
beautiful ocean blue,
|
|
paint melting off the walls
|
and I can hardly breathe
|
young men nod against the palms
|
turn blue and fail to breathe,
|
|
but, I came here to see,
|
|
So,
|
Give up the Sun, Give up the Sun
|
One hundred thousand times
|
I live just to hear you say
|
(I live just for once to? I live just to want to?)
|
give up the sun, give up the sun...
|
|
Down along the beachline
|
gulls pick at bones and glass,
|
|
Old Jew remembers Broadway
|
among the tires and glass
|
I try to remember Broadway
|
I had a friend up there at last,
|
|
and she can't help me now,
|
|
So,
|
Give up the Sun, Give up the Sun
|
One hundred thousand times
|
I just want to hear you say
|
give up the sun, give up the sun...
|
|

|
|
Out there, the sea makes love
|
waves pinwheel to the bay,
|
|
Oh, don't you leave me here
|
there's ghosts and rooms of pain
|
there's a storm out on the sea tonight
|
and bodies filled with pain
|
palm wind across the sea tonight
|
black with whirling pain
|
alone against the docks tonight
|
nobody knows my name,
|
|
and I can't go back again,
|
|
So,
|
Give up the Sun, Give up the Sun...
