lyrics

Everybody looks like a broken down movie extra, those red-eyed motel blondes. Got South Ireland in my veins and an itch to get away, and that makes sense because I'm still hungry. He stood tall, they named a building for his brother. When it came down, we all watched it on TV.

(Hold the line) Two waves don't crash together, (Tie the rope) they beat boats on a midnight tide. Green lights on the greenest seaside. That's the color of my captain's eyes.

Dreaming like Americans do. On a queen-sized bed, I eat the sheep you counted (and you'll be counting). Learning French in the afternoon, while Ella's humming jazz through the next door radio (and you're still counting). Strip malls and department stores paved over fields of our fathers' wars.

(Hold the line) Two waves don't crash together, (tie the rope) they beat boats on a midnight tide. Green lights on the greenest seaside. That's the color of my captain's eyes.

Well they all say it was the architects, with some brains and some books they built up. Real construction is more delicate. It’s leaving lines in your palms with dead skin and regret.
