I ATE IT AND AT ONCE MY EYES COULD SEE YOU,
|
NO SOONER HAD I OOPED IT DOWN,
|
I FELT SO FAR OFF FROM THE GROUND I STOOD ON.
|
|
MY LEGS THEY SEEMED TO ME LIKE HIGH RISE BUILDINGS,
|
MY HEAD WAS HIGH UP THE SKY,
|
MY SKIN THE SUN BEGAN TO FRY LIKE BACON.
|
|
AND THEN SOMEBODY OLD APPEARED
|
AND ASK HAD I COME FAR,
|
AND HADN'T THEY JUST SEEN ME UP ON HALEAKALA, YEH?
|
KEPT ON BODY SURFING TO PRETEND I HADN'T HEARD,
|
THERE WAS SOMEBODY THERE BESIDE ME
|
SWIMMING LIKE RICHARD THE THIRD.
|
I'M STILL SMILING, (I'm still smiling) SMILING.
|
|
SEVEN NAKED, NATIVE GIRLS,
|
SWAM SEVEN SACRED POOLS,
|
LONE RANGER SMOKING DOOBIES SAID,
|
"YOU'RE BREAKING ALL THE RULES,
|
YOU'D BETTER GET YOUR CLOTHES ON
|
OR ELSE THERE'LL BE A ROW,
|
IF IT WASN'T FOR MY SUNSTROKE,
|
I WOULD TAKE YOU ON RIGHT NOW."
|
I'M STILL SMILING, (I'm still smiling)
|
|
I FELL IN LOVE WITH MY SOFT-HEARTED HANA,
|
SHE ENTERED RIGHT IN THROUGH MY HEART,
|
AND NOW ALTHOUGH WE'RE MILES APART,
|
I STILL FEEL HER.
|
|
SHE LIVES BENEATH THE CRATER IN A MEADOW,
|
SHE GROWS AMONG THE FRUIT AND GRAIN,
|
YOU CAN MEET HER AFTER HEAVY RAIN HAS FALLEN.
