Get off the decommissioned school bus
Walk the high street with Raúl and Suzy
I wanna get clams and a lobster roll
Suzy sweats in her choker collar
She wonders why all the bars are empty
Orders grilled cheese in the diner
I say, wouldn't it be fun
If we went and rented a sailboat?
Suzy wants to swim in the ocean
Don't care about the tourists in the mansion
Suzy wants to swim in the ocean
She goes in her bra and panties
We jump over the rail
Scramble down onto the sea rocks
I play some B-52s
Suzy cuts her foot
Raúl helps her limp to the Breakers
Gatekeeper gives her a band-aid
Now we walk through the museum
Of dead people's wealth
Suzy wants to swim in the ocean
Don't care about the tourists in the mansion
Suzy wants to swim in the ocean
She goes in her bra and panties
Blonde wears Newport history
Won't let us see the servants' quarters
This town has no mystery
Says suzy as she lights a cigarette
We lay under magnolia shade
Almost time to go back to the bus
Vanderbilt heiress takes us back
In her banana kayak
Suzy wants to swim in the ocean
Don't care about the tourists in the mansion
Suzy wants to swim in the ocean
She goes in her bra and panties
Suzy wants to swim in the ocean
Don't care about the tourists in the mansion
Suzy wants to swim in the ocean
She goes in her bra and panties

Angelino dogs
Desperate late at night
Cast their siren songs
Into the cellular tundra
Oh lover, don't go away again
Don't go away
Oh lover don't go away again
Don't go away
You rescued me
Siren songs tempt no more
Woah, we could never be
Woah, contra mundum
Meet me
At the Amtrack station
Ride the Coaster
To spend the day together
Oh lover, don't go away again
Don't go away
Oh lover don't go away again
Don't go away
You rescued me
Siren songs tempt no more
Woah, we could never be
Woah, contra mundum

Chinese tour groups
Eat turtle shells
Luxembourg Garden
Chairs in pastels
Crimson Homeless
Lounge on the chairs
All light touches
Is college-owned
Piccadilly Circus is Cambridge
Hanover is lost in Wilderness
Piccadilly Circus is Cambridge
Hanover is lost in Wilderness
Walking, walking, walking, walking
The Hangover Inn
Is perched on the crest
A great piney wave
Two blocks, affluence
Furious rain
Clocktower shroud
Stroll in the mud
Umbrella green
Piccadilly Circus is Cambridge
Hanover is lost in Wilderness
Piccadilly Circus is Cambridge
Hanover is lost in Wilderness
Walking, walking, walking, walking
Bespectacled tour guide references Lion King
Everything the light touches is college-owned
Piccadilly Circus is Cambridge
Hanover is lost in Wilderness
Piccadilly Circus is Cambridge
Hanover is lost in Wilderness
Walking, walking, walking, walking, walk

The monkey wears a pair of bandy blue Bonobos
As he climbs into the belly of the tallship de Soto
He hears Captain John call all hands set the t'gallant
Hoist the anchor chain and he's feelin like a stud
Til he's covered in brittle stars and Catalina mud
He climbs on up and dives off the figurehead prow
Yeah

While we were spooning in your sleeping bag
You made out with Emily underneath my sweatshirt
Snow was falling outside our tarp shelter
Somehow I managed not to notice
Rain had turned my sleeping bag to mud
So I shared my body heat with my bud
Then as we told our ghost stories
You hid your heads and I recited Oread
How the hell did I miss that?
How could you do that to me?
How the hell did I miss that?
How could you do that to me?
I stare at my boots on the hike down
Wet blue jeans turned the yellow leather brown
You walk with Emily towards the back
I hike on past my friends
I lose the path and fall into a gulley
So I blow my whistle and hug a tree
But you never came looking for me
So I had to trailblaze my way back to the city
How the hell did I miss that?
How could you do that to me?
How the hell did I miss that?
How could you do that to me?

Red Moon

Charging across the bad, badlands
On the rollercoaster road
I didn't expect to see those headlights parked in the scrub
Mariachi murder on the redneck radio
Red moon hangs outside my window
Fresh snow clings to the saguaro
Changing on across the badlands
Red Moon hangs outside my window
Barrel-chested man stares at distant flames
Says I was the first car they wouldn't let through
I didn't expect the smoke to be so bad
Total blackout, like a blizzard
Red moon hangs outside my window
Fresh snow clings to the saguaro
Changing on across the badlands
Red Moon hangs outside my window
Hey hey hey hey, hey
Hey hey hey hey, hey
Red, red moon
Red, red moon
