Dawn Patrol
Rolling out of bed at dawn I pull my Senior Lopez on It’s gonna be an ice cold day But that should keep the kooks away Paddle out for Dawn Patrol Take an early morning stroll Smile with the rising sun Riding waves and having fun The morning fog is creeping low Street lights giving off their glow No one on the beach but me So I slide into my 5/4/3 Carving picture perfect waves In my liquid holy church, I’m saved Seagulls singing out their praise The heavens part with golden rays If you go on dawn patrol There’s something that you gotta know You better keep my ocean clean And leave like you were never seen Chasing The Sun
I’d rather get burned, by a girl with no expectations Than live in the sealed off rooms of someone else’s dreams Sunshine baby, eyes that sparkle like the sea I think maybe, you should spend some time with me When you’re chasing the sun There’s always a chance You run the risk of burning I won’t promise you paradise, ‘cause you know, that isn’t real So let’s just drift in the moment And let the current come wash us away I’ rather run free, with a girl with no hesitations Than stay in the worn out lanes of someone else’s dreams Seaside lady, I don’t believe in destiny It might be crazy, but you should take a chance on me Sundance baby, I love your spontaneity I think maybe, you should run away with me Steamer Lane
Mr Fernandez, givin’ me the stare Only nine-fifteen and I’m squirmin’ in my chair This Spanish class, got me trapped inside Necessito mi surfboard and a wave to ride So I fake an illness with a coughing attack But instead of the nurse, I sneak around out back I see Jimmy’s Camaro with the pin stripe flames And we burn out the lot - For Steamer Lane We’re feeling kinda hungry and we need some grinds At the Togos shop, we get the number 9 We find a place to park and we hide the keys The ocean is cold and we get ready to freeze We wade into the water and survey the scene Thank you Jack O’Neill for your neoprene We got a reservation for some pleasure and pain So we paddle on out - For Steamer Lane Middle Peak is rising as we carve the foam But we want more, so we start to roam The winter swell is pounding as we reach The Slot I try to set up, but my leash is caught Seaweed has me tangled and it’s pulling me down I hold my breath, hoping I won’t drown Then Jimmy cut my leash with his razor blade And then he pulled me out - Of Steemer Lane Now I’m no Tommy Curren but I’m feeling no shame There’s beers in the Camaro and they’re calling my name As the sun starts to set, we’re feeling no pain We can’t wait to come back -to Steemer Lane Sea Lions barking at me like I’m a clown Fresh dings in my board and it’s bringing me down Riptide
I feel it pulling me under Dragging me down, far away from the shore The riptide - the riptide Like an invisible hand It’s holding me down, like I’m nailed to the floor The riptide - the riptide Your love is like a deadly current it’s drowning me It’s time to cut the line and set me free Can't you see We were not Meant to be - When I’m out with my boys You blow up my phone, telling me to come home The riptide - the riptide I have always been true But your suspicion of me is like a dog with a bone The riptide - the riptide You’re filled with jealousy A twisted fantasy You never trusted me Now please just set me free.

Wake Up
It's time to wake up we know the deal No longer pretend that it's not real Can't move the needle with one some (its time) Sad truth is it takes everyone Awake from your dream There's not as much time as it seems (wake up) Admit that you see Change what will be So what will you do? You know that it's true Better Angels
It’s easy to look away Or hide in the shadows When you get surprised by things that you know ain't right You might get uncomfortable Speaking words that wake the dead or could shine a light Sleepwalking while you’re wide awake No pride left to swallow Trying not to see the things that you know ain’t right Sweet time starts to slip away Sitting on your hands so you won’t have to fight Hey - say it out loud! Say it out loud! Say the words they need to hear Do what you gotta do To reach their better angels Hey - say it out loud! Say it out loud! To the demons in their ears Do what you gotta do To reach their better angles So easy to run away Or suffer in silence But you can’t ignore the things that you know ain’t right It takes all your energy Dragging monsters from the dark up into the light Deep Blue Sea
Your sound seduces me. With the ebb and return of the waves. The caress of the tide on the sand puts my mind at ease. So serene. Our sad hypocrisy. We poison the things we adore. As the foul rivers flow with the mire til the reach the sea. Carelessly. Deep blue sea there’s a world inside you. Shrouded in dark mystery. You fill my soul like an ancient memory, haunting me. We’ve felt your wrath before. With waves reaching up to the sky. When the waters recede it reminds us how small we are. Helplessly. Deep blue sea there’s a world above you. Living in sad misery. Can we learn to live beside you, peacefully? At times it frightens me. The awe that you feel when it roars. Like a Queen, it demands your respect if you come to her recklessly. And on my dying day. I will come to your side once again. And my ashes will dance on your waves as you welcome me, gratefully. Private Eye
He’s with his mistress in the motel at the beach And all the jewelry he went and bought her with receipts You wanted proof, here it is, now pay me cuz I - I caught him sneaking down the street I saw him being indiscrete I’m a private eye, let me warn ya - I got all of the dirt you need It’s all right here in my camera The shady deals and the dirty deeds I’m a private eye, let me tell You want the truth you can count on me She’s on a yacht with her boss at mid-night, compromised My telephoto lens exposed her, and her lies You wanted proof, here it is, now pay me, cuz I I caught her trying to raise his sail That girl is such an epic fail Your husband claimed he was working late last friday night I got the pictures and what he told you wasn’t right You wanted proof, here it is, now pay me, cuz I I caught him rolling in the hay I guess you didn’t know he’s gay? Ride A Wave
I know a thing or two about anxiety How life can beat you up and knock you to your knee So, when my head needs healing I get that ocean feeling Ride a wave, ride a wave! When the walls close in on me I need that hydrotherapy When I was young the teacher came and said to me You're hyper active with a case of ADD But, when my brain needs coolin' I've got my liquid schoolin' Ride a wave, ride a wave! When your heads about to blow There's a place where you can go When it all goes south and you can't see out The times in life we all go through Remember your faith, be true to yourself But there's one more thing you ought to do...... Ride a wave, ride a wave! When your heads about to blow There's a place where you can go You know we're all just tryin to make it through the day We stress and grind cause we don't know another way So, when you think you're fallin', just hear that ocean callin' Ride a wave, ride a wave! When the walls close in on you There's one thing that you can do Father Time
I see his long white beard, his face is proud, and full of ancient lines He’s been riding high on pristine waves since the dawn of time Born upon the ocean, his cathedral, blue and green Salt sea air would fill his soul and wash his spirit clean He’s been to Honolua Bay, and rode the Pipeline too He even conquered Mavericks, in the spring of 92 But now a wave is rising fast and it fills his heart with grief A deadly tide is rolling in to break him on the reef Father Time, he sees us, and he knows what we have done We filled the sea with plastic, left to rot there in the sun The ocean now is weeping, can’t you hear her desperate plea? As waves of trash come crashing down like tears upon the sea The ocean calls us to her like a thousand times before Water has a siren song that pulls us from the shore Now Father Time is begging us to make a sacred vow All of us who ride the waves must answer to it now A brotherhood, a sisterhood, a family to the sea Those that call the ocean home must rise and pay the fee To keep the water clean and pure and free from foul intentions Let our call be heard across the waves of every nation |
