[00:08.63]It's you and me on a beach
[00:10.25]In 1998
[00:12.19]Leaning into the breeze
[00:13.88]From the willows
[00:15.50]And rhythm and grace are reborn in this place
[00:18.44]I'm assured the procedure is painless
[00:22.06]
[00:22.94]The taxicab with no brakes
[00:24.63]Around the mountain pass
[00:26.63]Keep your head in your hands
[00:28.44]If anybody asks
[00:30.31]What you mean when you were picking a fight
[00:32.94]You were only complimenting the waitress
[00:36.56]Give us a room with a mountain view
[00:39.63]A tiny cabana by the water
[00:42.45]Yeah, by the water
[00:44.83]And I got a rental for an hour or two
[00:47.57]For a ride up the coast and a dip in the ocean
[00:51.70]
[00:59.62]The waterfront is alight
[01:01.06]With citronella flame
[01:02.99]Tourists flashing the night
[01:04.83]From the grottoes
[01:06.45]And gathering now on the heel-worn planks
[01:09.39]For a drunken promenade or a mambo
[01:13.89]And lovers paddle a boat
[01:15.64]On the molten bay
[01:17.58]Veering into the reeds
[01:19.32]On a ripple
[01:20.95]And playing it cool in a bar by the pool
[01:23.95]With a Caribbean Kiss Amaretto
[01:27.51]Give us a room with a mountain view
[01:30.70]A tiny cabana by the water
[01:33.82]Yeah, by the water
[01:36.14]And I got a rental for an hour or two
[01:38.51]For a ride up the coast and a dip in the ocean
[01:46.20]
[01:50.58]Get a load of the light in the trees
[01:53.01]And the sweet decay on the maritime breeze
[01:57.39]The sun's hitching on a weather balloon
[02:00.33]And the heat off the tarmac
[02:02.08]Burning a hole in a gold afternoon
[02:08.03]
[02:18.76]Give us a room with a mountain view
[02:21.51]A tiny cabana by the water
[02:24.26]Yeah, by the water
[02:26.26]And I got a rental for an hour or two
[02:29.32]And a bottle in a cooler
[02:31.26]Maps and a big brown towel
[02:34.32]It's a beater but today will do
[02:36.57]For a ride up the coast and a dip in the ocean
