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 assured the procedure is painless
The taxicab with no brakes Around the mountain pass 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
