“Down the Shore”

Thinkin bout leavin here,
Drive down the Jersey shore.
Gonna split the frequency,
Can’t take the city heat no more.

Hold up in a cheap motel
White noise on the color TV.
“You must be a Jersey Girl
to steal dirty looks from me.”

Burning up like a fighter plain,
Wasting away down the Jersey shore.
`See life through a Polaroid,
Can’t find love in the city no more.

Meditate in a cheap motel;
White noise on the color TV.
Glad you’re not a Jersey Girl
To share a smile with me.

And the breeze it’s…
A memory.
An advertisement.
A distraction
…for me.

Waking up down the shore,
Snowflakes melt on my face.
Sand castles `all washed away.
A crackling wind fills the space.

All alone in a cheap motel,
Take hold of the color TV,
Where are all the Jersey Girls?
I remember had bothered me.

And the breeze it’s…
A memory.
An advertisement.
A distraction
…for me.
