Tidal River

We cling onto the water's edge The soil is thin The breeze blows off the bay A nation blue in running shoes Don't look too close You might not like the view Ceiling's on fire Train's leaving the station It's January We're on vacation Take your complaint to the United Nations I feel my wave coming on Sea of blue Sea of white Eternal purple morning light We cling onto the water's edge Manicure the border hedge Stack up the brick and mortar ledge While calling out a sister sledge Tidal River Through our fingers Tidal River Through our fingers Passes on Jetski over the pale reef Chase the pill for some relief As long as you don't point out What's underneath Your feet Stand and compete It's the only retreat The turf is pure Keep the peace on the green leaf streets Fire up the grill ignition And cook it beyond recognition Tidal River Through our fingers Tidal River Through our fingers Passes on Ceiling's on fire Train's leaving the station It's January We're on vacation Take your complaint to the United Nations I feel my wave coming on And on
