lyrics

So I find myself here, with the sun waking up
Gazing out at the ocean while cradling my cup
Instant Coffee inside of styrofoam

Eat a
banana or two or whatevers nearby
“that fruit there cures cancer!” …that might be a lie
But don’t worry, I’ll eat it anyway

Cuz I’m dreaming of Hawaii again
Honestly not lying my friend
Drifting in Hawaii again

Have you heard on the news
I got the pineapple blues
The world’s an ocean away and so are all your taboos

And I tell ya it ain’t what they write in the books
If you don’t feel the soul, come for all the good looks
And you’ll swear, you’re in heaven, again

Everyone’s bitching, city life isn’t fair
That’s why I’ll be hitchin with wind in my hair
Blissfully not knowing or wanting to know

If you happen to chose to believe what I say
And you rapidly lose your desire to stay
In the city, you will not be the first

Many shy eyes fall in love with conceit
Many fine lullabies hypnotize with no beat
So remember, things are never what they seem
