Fountains Of Wayne
A Dip In The Ocean
It's you and me on a beachIn 1998Leaning into the breezeFrom the willowsAnd rhythm and grace are reborn in this placeI'm assured the procedure is painlessThe taxicab with no brakesAround the mountain passKeep your head in your handsIf anybody asksWhat you mean when you were picking a fightYou were only complimenting the waitressChorus:Give us a room with a mountain viewA tiny cabana by the waterYeah, by the waterAnd I got a rental for an hour or twoFor a ride up the coast and a dip in the oceanThe waterfront is alightWith citronella flameTourists flashing the nightFrom the grottoesAnd gathering now on the heel-worn planksSongtexteFor a drunken promenade or a mamboAnd lovers paddle a boatOn the molten bayVeering into the reedsOn a rippleAnd playing it cool in a bar by the poolWith a Caribbean Kiss AmarettoChorusGet a load of the light in the treesAnd the sweet decay on the maritime breezeThe sun's hitching on a weather balloonAnd the heat off the tarmacBurning a hole in a gold afternoonGive us a room with a mountain viewA tiny cabana by the waterYeah, by the waterAnd I got a rental for an hour or twoAnd a bottle in a coolerMaps and a big brown towelIt's a beater, but today will doFor a ride up the coast and a dip in the ocean
