Blues Beach



|        |          |         |      |


|        |          |         |      |



I was scrapin'  bottom 


Gropin'  in the dark



It takes a crusty punk to really beat

                            
The mean streets of Medicine Park

      
So I shifted left for out of town

                                 
Then I clicked my heels and I doubled down to

      
Blues Beach


I'm frying


Sizzlin' in the merciful rays

             
And it's the long sad Sunday

                        
Of the early resigned

|        |          |         |      |


  
I went to Central Station


To catch the early bus


They were gassed and runnin' every which way

                    
But unhappily not for us


Here comes Trina-the child bride

                              
I said hey pretty girl-can I cop a ride to

      
Blues Beach


It's rainin'


I'm chillin' at the Manatee Bar

            
Well it's a stone soul picnic

                        
For the early resigned


We could rent a paranymphic glider

   
My hypothetical friend

                    
  and we could sail     away

               
'Til the bending    end


|            |         |         |            | 


|          |             |



Grab Big Dog a blanket


Angel of my heart


Things may get a whole lost worse

                        
Before suddenly falling apart

                       
Give your roommate Yvonne a ring

                                    
'Cause if she still wants in I gotta pull

     
some strings

          
On Blues Beach


I'm dying


Freezin' in the merciful rays

             
And it's the long sad Sunday

                        
Of the early resigned


|         |             |         |      |


|         |             |         |      |

repeat
