What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Well, I'm a tidal pool explorer
2
From the days of my misspent youth
3
I believe that down on the beach
4
Where the seagulls preach
5
Is where the Chineese buried the truth
6
So I dig in the sand
7
With my misguided hands
8
And if I dig deep enough
9
Hell, I just might dig it up
10
Talkin' about treasure
11
Talkin' about pleasure
12
Talkin' about Love
13
Now I'm a reader of the night sky
14
And a singer of inordinate tunes
15
That's how I float across time
16
Livin' way past my prime
17
Like a long lost baby's balloon
18
So I hang on to the string
19
Work that whole gravity thing
20
But when my spaceship goes pop
21
Back to the Earth I will drop
22
Into the sea
23
Or the limbs of a tree
24
Or the wings of my love
25
Chorus:
26
And I don't know what I'm supposed to do
27
Maybe invent me a story or two
28
I've got coastal confessions to make
29
How about you, how about you
30
They say that time is like a river
31
And stories are the key to the past
32
But now I'm stuck in between
33
Here at my typing machine
34
Trying to come up with some words that will last
35
It's so easy to see
36
That we live history
37
And if I just find the beat
38
I know I'll land on my feet
39
I always do
40
Haven't got a clue
41
Cause they come from above
42
(Chorus)
43
Let's go to church, Sonny
44
So bless me Father
45
Yes, I have sinned
46
Given the chance I'll probably do it again
47
I don't need absolution
48
Just a simple solution will do
49
So let's talk about the future
50
Or the consequences of my past
51
I've got scars, I've got lines
52
I'm not hard to define
53
Just an alter boy coverin' his ass
54
I know I can't run and hide
55
But just hang on for the ride
56
There will be laughter and tears
57
As we progress through the years
58
But still it's fun
59
Hey, I'm not done
60
Gonna dance till I fall
61
(Chorus:)
62
And I don't know what I'm supposed to do
63
Maybe have me a boat drink or two
64
It's good for coastal confessions I hear
65
Tell the truth, tell the truth
66
I got some coastal confessions to make
67
How about you, how about you
68
How about you, how about you
69
' you, ' you, ' you
70
(Spoken:)
71
Uh, 42 years since my last confession.
72
Well, Father, do you have the rest of the week
73
Let's get started
74
I had impure thoughts
75
I smoked some pot
76
Stole some peanut butter
77
Father, wake up....
