Feels like a dream as I'm lying on the beach   Staring up at blue sky just beyond my reach   I spread my towel on the edge of a sandy rise   And wait for the girl in green to open her eyes   And someone's shouting far away   But it doesn't matter anyway   I hope the sun don't dry your makeup   And I hoipe we never make up       "We thought the time was right   To get a little rest for you, kid   We tried with all our might   To do the very best for you, kid   We know you need to hide   We know you're somewhere deep inside   So just sit back and wait for the tide   To rise, rise, rise....   Just wait for the tide to rise."      Now the girl rolls over with a sleepy smile   She's programmed to do that every once in a while   He sips his drink and smokes the perfect cigarette   The illusion should last a while yet   And it feels so good to hold her hand   And dig his feet into the sand   Oh, dreaming here beneath the sun   Oh, waiting for the tide to come      "We thought the time was right..."(etc)      Picking up seashells   Listening for churchbells   Watching the ocean   In a world without motion   "We've got so much to teach you   Just let the cool water reach you   And fade away....   Fade away....   Fade away....   Fade away...."
