Pay for Surf

She's really stricken by that bronze-skinned idol

with his dubious smile and a promise of revival

He strikes a pose

a perfect note

Hands her a rose

and another quote from his Bible

(Surf's down) Here's an artificial wave by the Astroturf

(Surf's down) If the water's flat, he'll pay for surf

(Surf's down) By inflatable palm trees on the shifting sand

(Surf's down) She plays beach blanket bingo with her plastic man

He'll pay for surf

She likes the feel of that lukewarm water

and the guy seems concerned like a heavenly father

Lends her a hand

'cause he's the man

With the tanning bed tan

and lambs to the slaughter

It's a happy ever after little vignette

He says "Baby, let's sail into the sunset"

But you don't get far

on a chlorine sea

Now she's back home

and he's history (just another reject)

(Surf's down) Here's an artificial wave by the Astroturf

(Surf's down) If the water was flat he paid for surf

(Surf's down) By inflatable palm trees on the shifting sand

(Surf's down) She played beach blanket bingo with her plastic man

Now she prays for surf

She prays for surf

Now she prays for surf
