Standard (EADGBE)
parked behind the liquor lodge
drunken skinny dipping accidents will happen
misjudged the distance to the lifeguard chair
past the buoys and the last sandbar
slow recovery i chanced upon an empty sleeping bag
there were reasons not to come but i forgot them all
engaged in idle conversation with a sailor and a girl
this morning was a red sky, did you see? she had that look in her eye
(ooo etc.)
telling fables by the fire while a horsefly bites my side
quiet picnic out of sight while party-goers carry on by the treeline
silent figure by the shore would rather listen to the waves than
be hidden from roving eyes
the very real threat of dogs
the very real threat of dogs
the very real threat of dogs
the very real threat of dogs
(instrumental break)
(verse 2)
lapping waves like a romantic kiss behind the french fry stand
parents, children, and their children's friends put on their S.P.F. 45
watch the sand for bits of glass and don't wander too far away
inner tubes and undertows are not the real dangers here
(chorus 2)
(ooo etc.)
telling fables by the fire while a horsefly bites my side
quiet picnic out of sight while party-goers carry on by the treeline
silent figure by the shore would rather listen to the waves than
be hidden from roving eyes
the very real threat of dogs
the very real threat of dogs
the very real threat of dogs
the very real threat of dogs
(instrumental ending)
