Lying On a Beach Lyrics
Somebody introduced me
To a member of the club
I think that they confused me
With some other rub-a-dub-a-dub
Now, I work on the fifth floor
And nothing is my fault
I take advice like margueritas
With a heavy grain of salt
I always wake up in the night
Wondering if Im doing it right
And if I had my way
Id be getting on this flight tonight
And in the morning Id be
Lying on a beach in the sun
Lying to my family and friends
Telling them that I have begun
Trying to find the means to an end
Lying on a beach in the sun
Lying just to cover my ass
Lying in the sun on the beach
Burning like the girls in the grassI should be working on my manners
But Im working on my website
All you star-spangled scanners
Trying to photocopy moonlight
Staring at the computer screen
Feeling so alone and obscene
Getting restless
Getting randy
Getting mean
Lying on a beach in the sun
Looking for a little romance
The temperatures a hundred and one
Everybody take off your pants
Lying on a beach in the sun
Trying to figure out what to do
Lying in the sun on the beach
I realized I did not have a clueIm full of hocus pocus
And Im slower than molasses
Im coming in and out of focus
Like a magic pair of glasses
I go down to the staff room at lunchtime
Im like a joke but theres never a punch line
And if you step on my toes Ill blow up just like a landmine
Give me a reason Ill be
Lying on a beach in the sun
Nobody but my money and me
Is this your definition of fun
Im bored its only twenty past three (You should go for a swim)
Ill still be clinging to the company line
Theres sharks out there I think I saw a fin
Or maybe Im just losing my mindSomebody take a memo
Were all on automatic
When I get it back together
Were gonna need a little static
Somebody check my pulse
Slap me in the face
Show me what Im made of
Get me out of this place
Its like a weird technological dream
Watching buddies turn into machines
We never get our hands dirty
But paradise is never this clean
Come on
Lying on a beach in the sun
Dont want to get burned to a crisp
You want something to remember me by
You can save it on a floppy disk
So long
Farewell
You can kiss my ass goodbye
If I dont jump ship right now
Ill never figure out how to fly
