"Wreck Beach/Totem Park" lyrics

Roman-candle cruisers lighting up the trees
Crackle from the radios and voices in the breeze
The raiders come at sundown
"It's the law, son, clear the beach"
A message in a bottle pouring out in front of me

Yeah we thought this was heaven
Explore the apocalypse
Come build something with me love
At the end of the world
It's the end of the world

Watching the sun slip out of touch
Pinker than paradise, redder than blood
300 stairs back to civilization
I'll sit on the beach till they put me in cuffs

Cemetery city the truth about where I grew up
Songs I loved to sing revealed themselves as requiems
A virgin place, the cleanest slate and all the whitest lies
For 27 years I guess my mind was occupied

Yeah the clubs are all closing
It's time for everyone to find their homes
The street spirits stumble in circles
"It was here I could've sworn"
"It was here I could've sworn"

Watching the sun slip out of touch
Pinker than paradise, redder than blood
300 stairs back to civilization
I'll sit on the beach till they put me in cuffs

Totem park is dark now and we're piling in the car
4 squished in the back and through the sunroof there's the stars
We had our reservations, yeah we knew something wasn't right
But we drove around the edge of them and went on with our lives

Watching the sun slip out of touch
Pinker than paradise, redder than blood
300 stairs back to civilization
I'll sit on the beach till they put me in cuffs
I'll sit on the beach till they put me in cuffs
I'll sit on the beach till they put me in cuffs
I'll sit on the beach till they put me in cuffs (put me in cuffs)
I'll sit on the beach till they put me in cuffs (put me in cuffs)
300 stairs back to civilization
I'll sit on the beach till they put me in cuffs
