D Cadd9 G
Bought a pancho and sandals I threw away my shoes
Brought a toothbrush and a razor I probably won't use
Hit the track, turned my back on the Headline News
On my way to meet the moon on the bay where she's risin' big and full and blue
Intro Riff

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....

Rest in peace, you know it's better this way

Everything's slowin' down flowin' counterclockwise

Intro Riff x2
Now 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
