Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers - Counterclockwise (La Playa Version) lyrics

Bought a pancho and sandals I threw away my shoes Brought a toothbrush and a razor I probably won't use Hit the track, I turned my back On the Headlines News On my way to meet the moon on the bay Where she's risin' big and bold and blue Well the gringo boys got their dark sungla**es And the girls on the beach Are all shakin' their fingers 'Cause no matter how dark the lenses They can see that the eyes And the minds of the boys Are somewhere they ain't supposed to be The breeze is blowin' me a new perfume It's givin' my heart a little elbow room And the kids are lightin' firecrackers Boom! Boom! Boom! No one recalls when the clock on the wall Stopped wavin' its hands all day Maybe it died of loneliness or boredom Rest in peace, you know it's better this way The breeze is blowin' me a new perfume It's givin' my heart a little elbow room And the kids are lightin' firecrackers Boom! Boom! Boom! And all my friends are laughin' At each other's lies And the sea is singin' lullabies And everything's slowin' down Flowin' counterclockwise Some of the Americans are ugly Americans But we know we ain't all that way So we nod and we smile And we wait a little while Because they never stay anywhere Very long anyway The breeze is blowin' me a new perfume It's givin' my heart a little elbow room And the kids are lightin' firecrackers Boom! Boom! Boom! And all my friends are laughin' At each other's lies And the sea is singin' lullabies And everythin's slowin' down Flowin' counterclockwise...
