lyrics
Two weeks into summer and you wonder why you stayed
As the PVC shower curtain fragrance starts to fade,
It’s just you and me in a suitcase college town.
Two rivulets about to meet our end on higher ground.
You want to go where the action is,
Over the skyline - under the sea.
Side three of Exile over - so high that you can’t move
But no one lifts the needle stuck on the inner groove.
The box fan - it ain't working - somehow we start your car,
Drive out to the country, try to see the stars.
You want to go where the action is,
Over the skyline - under the sea
Over the skyline - under the sea
And I don’t have to work for the last time for a while,
You’ve not found the one who gets you hooked and steals your smile.
We’re lost in the woods where a strip mall’s gonna be,
And your once-upon-a-time is running out of room for me.
You want to go where the action is,
Over the skyline - under the sea.
Over the skyline - under the sea.
