| My hotel is blue, beautiful ocean blue
|
| Paint melting off the walls
|
| And I can hardly breathe
|
| And young men nod against the palms
|
| Turn blue and fail to breathe
|
| But I came here to see
|
| So, give up the sun, give up the sun
|
| One hundred thousand times
|
| I live just once to hear you say
|
| Give up the sun, give up the sun
|
| Down along the beach line
|
| Gulls pick at bones and glass
|
| Old Jew remembers Broadway
|
| Along the tires and glass
|
| I try to remember Broadway
|
| I had a friend up there at last
|
| But she can’t help me now
|
| So, give up the sun, give up the sun
|
| One hundred thousand times
|
| I live just once to hear you say
|
| Give up the sun, give up the sun
|
| Give up the sun, give up the sun
|
| But out there, the sea makes love
|
| Waves pinwheel to the bay
|
| Oh, don’t you leave me here
|
| There’s ghosts and rooms of pain
|
| There’s a storm out on the sea tonight
|
| Bodies filled with pain
|
| Palm wind across the sea tonight
|
| Black with whirling pain
|
| Alone against the docks tonight
|
| Nobody knows my name
|
| I can’t go back again
|
| So, give up the sun, give up the sun
|
| One hundred thousand times
|
| I live just once to hear you say
|
| Give up the sun, give up the sun
|
| Give up the sun, give up the sun
|
| Give up the sun, give up the sun
|
| One hundred thousand times
|
| I live just once to hear you say
|
| Give up the sun, give up the sun
|
| Give up the sun, give up the sun
|
| Give it up, one hundred thousand times
|
| I live just once to hear you say
|
| Give up the sun, give up the sun
|
| Give up the sun, give up the sun
|
| Give up, one hundred thousand times
|
| Live just once to hear you say
|
| Give up the sun, give up the sun
|
| Give up the sun, give up the sun
|
| Give it up, one hundred thousand times |
