lyrics

Watching the Cyclone at Coney Island, watch it roll away
Didn’t win no prizes in Coney Island, wasted all my pay

Well the Boardwalk was a mess, she was fumbling with her dress
Dealing pills from a plastic bag, she really looked fantastic
She was washed out like a summer rain

Smile at the camera I don’t understand why you never want to stay
You blinked when I took it but you said "just look, its much cooler like this anyway"

Without a smile or a laugh, just a faded photograph
And this blackberry brandy, I’ve had enough
Did you have to buy the cheapest stuff?
I guess you’re waiting for me to walk you home

And you can always count on me to hide away all you want to see
I probably owe you an apology anyway
But somewhere up above you see there’s someone looking down on me
From a ferris wheel swinging out to sea, where the cold wind blows your lost and lonely heart far away

Dancing in front of a skee ball machine, the lights are shining bright
You rolled for the hundreds but missed every one, now I’m your only ticket tonight

We’re sipping brandy in the dark, while they’re closing down the park
They hose down the sidewalks at quarter to four, I’ve got a room up the street with a view of the shore
Where you can hear the waves like they’re crashing just for you
Just for you...

You can hear the waves crashing just for you, until morning comes
With the waves, crashing just for you, sleeping in your jeans with the waves
With the waves
