  • Door is locked
    My gums are bleeding
    Outside she reads
    Outside she's reading
    The evacuation procedure out loud

    Clothes are off
    My health receding
    Somewhere she dreams
    Somewhere she's dreaming
    The Caribbean
    Nica Libres at dusk

    While the faithful dispose of a generation
    And all of the mountains whisper knowingly
    I order a Colada
    And sit, count my dollars
    And watch eagles soar in circles
    Perpetually

    Door is locked
    My gums are bleeding
    Outside she reads
    Outside she's reading
    The evacuation procedure out loud

    Clothes are off
    My health receding
    Somewhere she dreams
    Somewhere she's dreaming
    The Caribbean
    Nica Libres at dusk

    While the faithful dispose of a generation
    And all of the mountains rumble knowingly
    I order a Colada
    And sit, count my dollars
    And watch eagles soar in circles
    Perpetually

    Forever, forever such a beautiful thing

    Now I am older
    I don't look over my shoulder
    I know what is there in front of me
    Ten Marlboro cigarettes
    The rolled butts into the bottle tops
    Today I will stare at the sea
    'il my eyes have had enough

    Enough, enough
    (Is that enough?) Writer/s: Benjamin John Howard, India Bourne, Kyle Keegan, Mickey Smith, Nathan Thomas Wason, Richard Thomas
