1
They take apart their bodies like toys for the local boys
2
Because theyre always there at the edge of the water
3
They come from the capitol these city girls
4
Go way down where the stones meet the sea
5
And all you young girls where do you hide
6
Down by the water, the restless tide
7
And the local boys hide on the mound and watch
8
Reaching for the speech and the word to be heard
9
And the boys grow hard, hard to be heard
10
Hard to be heard as the reach for the speech and the word
11
On the waters edge
12
But you grow old, and you grow cold,
13
Yeah, you grow old, and you grow cold
14
They would come in their hordes, these city girls
15
With white strings flowing from their ears
16
As the local boys behind the mound
17
Think long and hard about the girls from the capitol
18
Who dance at the waters edge, shakin their asses
19
And all you young lovers, where do you hide
20
Down by the water and the restless tide
21
With a Bible of tricks they do with their legs
22
The girls reach for the speech and the speech to be heard
23
To be hard the boys teem down from the mound
24
And seize the girls from the capitol
25
Who shriek at the edge of the water
26
Shriek to speak and reach for the speech
27
Yeah, reach for the speech and be heard
28
But you grow old, and you grow cold,
29
Yeah, you grow old, and you grow cold,
30
You grow old
31
Their legs wide to the world like Bibles open
32
To be speared and taken their bodies apart like toys
33
They dismantle themselves by the waters edge
34
And reach for the speech and the wide, wide world
35
Aaaah, God knows the local boys
36
Yeah, its will of love
37
Its the thrill of love
38
Ah, but the chill of love, is comin on
39
Yeah, its will of love
40
Its the thrill of love
41
Ah, but the chill of love, is comin on
42
Its will of love
43
Its the thrill of love
44
Ah, but the chill of love, is comin down, people
