Fountains Of Wayne - A Dip In The Ocean lyrics

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 a**ured the procedure is painless The taxicab with no brakes Around the mountain pa** 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
