| This summer the sun was a shotgun pointed down at me | |
| And I was just another ugly American melting in the heat | |
| Watching the stagnant ocean breathe painfully | |
| It only wants to drag you down by your feet | |
| No one swimming in the water | |
| No sharks, no eels, no little life boats | |
| Just a history lesson and some two bit Victorian ghosts | |
| Who do a turn at the pirate ship | |
| singing, “It's A Small World After All” | |
| Either you laugh at it, baby | |
| Or you hit a brick wall | |
| You said to me | |
| “You're from California | |
| and you laugh too easily” | |
| You said to me | |
| “You just let things happen | |
| that are killing me” | |
| We're like whitefish beached all day on hot parking lots | |
| Waiting for the summer parade to sadly drift by | |
| Melancholy floats filled with suicides and drooping paper flowers | |
| A defeated army and no wind to blow away the smell of surrender | |
| There was '50s nostalgia and horrifying Flintstone characters | |
| Living memorials to wasted days and wasted bitter nights | |
| And everyone on the promenade participates in your silence | |
| Cause I'm always wrong, baby, and you're always right | |
| You said to me | |
| “You're from California | |
| and you're as dumb as can be” | |
| You said to me | |
| “Are you the Scarecrow, the Tin Man | |
| or are you Dorothy” | |
| You said to me | |
| “I'm beginning to think that you're | |
| a part of the enemy” | |
| You said to me | |
| “If I was drowning would you save me | |
| from Southend-on-Sea” | |
| From Southend-on-Sea | |
| There was a chamber of horrors | |
| and it was packed with onlookers | |
| Wax figured day trippers being tortured | |
| Worse than their crimes deserved | |
| And there I was in a stranglehold spinning out | |
| from your nightmare | |
| And my life with you was a black cloud hanging in the air | |
| And you said to me | |
| “You're from California | |
| and you lie too easily” | |
| You said to me | |
| “Did you really think that this was | |
| going to set my heart free” | |
| You said to me | |
| “I'm beginning to think that you're | |
| a part of the enemy” | |
| Part of the enemy | |
| You said to me, | |
| “If I was drowning would you save me | |
| from Southend-on-Sea” | |
| From Southend-on-Sea |
