You hit the alarm clock,   life invading sleep   hide the disappointment,   but it’s the life you keep   and you were so far away, so far away   and you were so far away, so far away      and in the morning,   you said it isn’t far to go   and the waves left salt-streaks in your hair   and in the middle of the night   through the gulf of mexico   you said we’re more than half way there      and when we got there   we found a little action   made some big dinero made it fast   now we’re making love under the waves   upon the moonlight   and never mind the splinters in your..      you and me in a rowboat to rio      a couple of sharks, endangered tropical fish   enough colors to make you dizzy   but we’ve got all we need, got a lot of   tropical fish to eat   and our eight track tapes of thin lizzy      you and me in a rowboat to rio      sometimes you feel like the only way there   is as far as we go   and the only way back   is a road you have long forsaken   sometimes it seems like the only way through   is through rio   but I’m promising this ain’t no organic trip   you’ve been taking      and on our way back home,   we popped a couple of beers   and remembered all the words to dark star   and when we hit the sand   we made way for higher land   and strapped her to the roof   of your el dorado      you and me in a rowboat from rio
