I was sitting on the breaker wall listening to tunes in a modern way
With my shoulders back i closed my eyes i smelt the salt and let my body feel the ocean spray
The distant screams of children's laughter
Melted into gulls that swooped and dived on junk food prey
But every time I thought I'd caught your smile
A wave would flip your hip and our footprints would catch the wash and fade away
And when you're at sea what do you dream about?
When your hair caught the breeze and i saw you laugh out loud
I wouldn't believe there's a song about it would not bring a new dance to town
Cause you rock in Pebble Bay when the moon is up and the surf don't bring you down
The waves began to fall in time with every breath and sigh I couldn't hold
Maracas stones and shaker sands Waded up to my waist my heart began to sink so in I rolled
Beneath the waves there's clarity where women are half women and the other half have tails
The sirens scream emotional wrecks while the mermaids
Just sit and paint their nails bright red
And when you're at sea what do you dream about?
When your hair caught the breeze and i saw you laugh out loud
I wouldn't believe there's a song about it would not bring a new dance to town
Cause you rock in Pebble Bay when the moon is up and the surf don't bring you down
And your phosphorescent glow would un-cripple Freda Karlo
So paint your pallet blue paint your pallet blue
