Lyrics
look at the sunset
is it brighter being up here
a beautiful distraction
blinking lights on the ocean
destination paradise
don't go ashore without a partner
all for vacation
no i really couldn't drive there
how 'bout we float the city
sounds absurd, you would think so
but i've nothing much to do
and i could use a change of scenery
never mind the mess you know we're leaving
I couldn't stand another minute here
out among the brightly colored people
come with me my darling be a dear
balancing buckets
it's a six mile walk for water
return trip fully loaded
what a way to stay in shape
gonna have to ask my trai-
-ner if she knows just what to do
get me in shape to look like
you can mind the mess you know we're leaving
I couldn't stand another minute here
out among the brightly colored people
come with me my darling be a dear
can't wait to get back though i couldn't wait to leave
it amuses me to change the things i see
optional clothing just a bikini and a weave
neither here nor there, to be or not to be
never mind the mess you know we're leaving
I couldn't stand another minute here
out among the brightly colored people
come with me my darling be a dear
