Fountains and flourescent lights. When season has come
the snowbirds have crowded the nights.
And old townies are tired of the beaches and bars
being packed so tight.
And bridges, and traffic, and inlets, are locked in their fight.
And on these boats, ride the hopes of working class boys,
dreaming of girls, from far away points.
And better things. Like winter flings.
And longing after spring has sprung.
And they fly north when winter's done.
And we get burned in summer's sun.
Fountains and fluorescent lights.
When season has come the snowbirds have crowded the nights.
And young townies and tourists find unlikely love at first sight.
And swear that they're never leaving and that is their plight.
This winter is lasting forever, at least for tonight.
And I know that you're never leaving,
until your flight, takes you off,
And out of my arms, and into the air,
So far from your charms, that I cannot bare,
Another year, in this long forgotten beach town, we once shared.
This winter is lasting forever, at least for tonight.
And I know that you're never leaving me again.
No, not again.
Wait, just a damn minute. This song's about getting drunk on some beach and scoring with a small-town chick right? Right? I mean, last thing I want is another sappy song about some long distance relationship. Aww man. You have to be kidding me. I could have sworn I saw the words 'beer' and 'booze' somewhere in the lyrics. Oh wait a minute, it's 'boys'. No, no I am fine. Not drunk at all. Just going to head on down to the bar there to score me that hot babe. Weird, she looks awfully hairy under the chin.
