Pleasure Cruise

Down by the bay a man made of clay

Dips his toes into the ocean, trying to wash himself away

He jumps into the pond and he starts to dissolve

And he dreams about the streams that bleed into the amazon

If you are a boulder that never leaves the shore

You'll get ground up into sand and tracked onto the floor

Swept into a pile on someone's kitchen tile

These hurricanes have led my heart astray

But maybe if I try my hardest

I'll finally chase the rainclouds all away

I heard on the news that they keep finding shoes

On the shores of Ecuador and no one knows what they should do

They tried to give them away but there's more every day

Ballet shoes in shades of blue and rubber boots and mary janes

If you have to get away, don't take a pleasure cruise

'Cause you might get swept away (and you'll lose your shoes)

They'll end up in a pile on some foreign isle

These hurricanes have led my heart astray

But maybe if I try my hardest I'll finally chase the rainclouds all away

In a couple years, the land will disappear under the ocean

When that day is here I'll pack a bathing suit and tanning lotion

I'll let the waves take me away

Away
