[00:00.000]Southend On Sea - Mark Eitzel
[00:12.295]This summer the sun was a shotgun pointed down at me
[00:16.864]And I was just another ugly American melting in the heat
[00:22.376]Watching the stagnant ocean breathe painfully
[00:27.512]It only wants to drag you down by your feet
[00:32.576]No one swimming in the water
[00:34.224]No sharks no eels no little life boats
[00:37.976]Just a history lesson and some two bit Victorian ghosts
[00:43.224]Who do a turn at the pirate ship
[00:45.080]Singing it's a small world after all
[00:48.496]Either you laugh at it baby
[00:50.065]Or you hit a brick wall
[00:52.800]You said to me
[00:54.672]You're from California
[00:56.968]And you laugh too easily
[01:03.000]You said to me
[01:05.208]You just let things happen
[01:08.456]That are killing me
[01:15.176]We're like whitefish beached all day on hot parking lots
[01:19.888]Waiting for the summer parade to sadly drift by
[01:25.481]Melancholy floats filled with suicides and drooping paper flowers
[01:30.169]A defeated army and no wind to blow away the smell of surrender
[01:35.497]There was '50s nostalgia and horrifying Flintstone characters
[01:41.014]Living memorials to wasted days and wasted bitter nights
[01:45.854]And everyone on the promenade participates in your silence
[01:49.868]Cause I'm always wrong baby and you're always right
[01:55.100]You said to me
[01:56.900]You're from California
[01:59.476]And you're as dumb as can be
[02:05.492]You said to me
[02:07.524]Are you the scarecrow the tin man
[02:10.100]Or are you Dorothy
[02:15.908]You said to me
[02:17.908]I'm beginning to think that you're
[02:21.022]A part of the enemy
[02:26.478]You said to me
[02:28.374]If I was drowning would you save me
[02:30.846]From Southend-On-Sea
[02:33.886]From Southend-On-Sea
[02:58.536]There was a chamber of horrors
[03:00.088]And it was packed with onlookers
[03:03.544]Wax figured day trippers being tortured
[03:05.704]Worse than their crimes deserved
[03:08.760]And there I was in a stranglehold spinning out
[03:11.680]From your nightmare
[03:13.784]And my life with you was a black cloud hanging in the air
[03:17.700]And you said to me
[03:20.172]You're from California
[03:22.692]And you lie too easily
[03:28.516]You said to me
[03:30.596]Did you really think that this was
[03:33.422]Going to set my heart free
[03:39.022]You said to me
[03:40.926]I'm beginning to think that you're
[03:43.902]A part of the enemy
[03:46.766]Part of the enemy
[03:49.366]You said to me
[03:51.326]If I was drowning would you save me
[03:53.894]From Southend-On-Sea
[03:56.806]From Southend-On-Sea
