When The Coast's Clear
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They're closin' down the hangout
The air is turnin' cool
They'er shuttin' off the superslide"
The kids are back in school
The tourist traps are empty
Vacancy abounds
Almost like it used to be
Before the circus came to town
That's when it always happens
Same time every year
I come down to talk to me
When the coast is clear
Hello mister other me
It's been a long time
We hardly get to have these chats
That in itself's a crime
So tell me all your troubles
I'll surely tell you mine
We'll laugh and smoke and cuss and joke
And have a glass of wine
That's where it always happens
Same place every year
I come down and talk to me
When the coast is clear
It's the only place he knows
Where it always happens
Same place every year
I come down and talk to me
When the coast is clear
