Southend On Sea - Mark Eitzel (马克·艾扎)[00:00:00]

This summer the sun was a shotgun pointed down at me[00:00:12]

And I was just another ugly American melting in the heat[00:00:16]

Watching the stagnant ocean breathe painfully[00:00:22]

It only wants to drag you down by your feet[00:00:27]

No one swimming in the water[00:00:32]

No sharks no eels no little life boats[00:00:34]

Just a history lesson and some two bit Victorian ghosts[00:00:37]

Who do a turn at the pirate ship[00:00:43]

Singing it's a small world after all[00:00:45]

Either you laugh at it baby[00:00:48]

Or you hit a brick wall[00:00:50]

You said to me[00:00:52]

You're from California[00:00:54]

And you laugh too easily[00:00:56]

You said to me[00:01:03]

You just let things happen[00:01:05]

That are killing me[00:01:08]

We're like whitefish beached all day on hot parking lots[00:01:15]

Waiting for the summer parade to sadly drift by[00:01:19]

Melancholy floats filled with suicides and drooping paper flowers[00:01:25]

A defeated army and no wind to blow away the smell of surrender[00:01:30]

There was '50s nostalgia and horrifying Flintstone characters[00:01:35]

Living memorials to wasted days and wasted bitter nights[00:01:41]

And everyone on the promenade participates in your silence[00:01:45]

Cause I'm always wrong baby and you're always right[00:01:49]

You said to me[00:01:55]

You're from California[00:01:56]

And you're as dumb as can be[00:01:59]

You said to me[00:02:05]

Are you the scarecrow the tin man[00:02:07]

Or are you Dorothy[00:02:10]

You said to me[00:02:15]

I'm beginning to think that you're[00:02:17]

A part of the enemy[00:02:21]

You said to me[00:02:26]

If I was drowning would you save me[00:02:28]

From Southend-On-Sea[00:02:30]

From Southend-On-Sea[00:02:33]

There was a chamber of horrors[00:02:58]

And it was packed with onlookers[00:03:00]

Wax figured day trippers being tortured[00:03:03]

Worse than their crimes deserved[00:03:05]

And there I was in a stranglehold spinning out[00:03:08]

From your nightmare[00:03:11]

And my life with you was a black cloud hanging in the air[00:03:13]

And you said to me[00:03:17]

You're from California[00:03:20]

And you lie too easily[00:03:22]

You said to me[00:03:28]

Did you really think that this was[00:03:30]

Going to set my heart free[00:03:33]

You said to me[00:03:39]

I'm beginning to think that you're[00:03:40]

A part of the enemy[00:03:43]

Part of the enemy[00:03:46]

You said to me[00:03:49]

If I was drowning would you save me[00:03:51]

From Southend-On-Sea[00:03:53]

From Southend-On-Sea[00:03:56]
