Lying on the beach with desire   Rocking to the music of the waves   I was in despair   My heart needed repair   My lover had lied to me but   I was bored by what I saw there   Why? Why! Why?   My father was a lighthouse keeper   Watched the waves getting steeper   Watched the ships going down   In cadillacs they sailed with the tide   Beneath the pier the sea she stroked the night   I rocked a little then   I moved my body again   My lover kissed my lips   I was digging what I saw there   Why! Why? Why!   My father was a lighthouse keeper   Watched the waves getting steeper   Watched the ships going down   We watched the days slip by and the stars explode   And we watched them once again   Oh the laughter rose a cheer   Oh the laughter so nice to hear   Oh the laughter so good and free   Oh the laughter so nice to see      I lay among the shells and coke cans   In my lover   All the people were eating   And smiling sadly in their big cars   My father looked down from his lighthouse   He saw it all he knew it all   Then he laughed a little   Oh so pretty    Oh so easy
