Speedboat |
| Julie said we drink far too much coffee |
| Wine and cigarettes and we never get no sleep |
| I first met them at a riverboat party |
| Both of them were speeding I would say |
| I lived on the edge of all this indulgence |
| Taking notes and trusting in prudence |
| Julie said to jim why don’t we jump in |
| While the water is cool and we are still friends |
| Some say that they O. D. 'd on leonard cohen |
| Well I can see that river whenever I think about them |
| The river is cruel and the water is deep and blue |
| I was working then on my great unfinished novel |
| «please let introduce myself my name is ronald» |
| I was okay there until I lost my cool |
| Now let me introduce you to the rest of the crew |
| It wasn’t my style to find surf in my eye |
| It was much more my style to find sand in my eyes |
| Though there is absolutely no truth to be discovered |
| Albeit truth then is nothing to be found |
| We academics are not easily discouraged |
| Lloyd you know wits they come three to the pound |
| Julie said to jim look at the state we’re in |
| It was never her intention to conclude anything |
| It wasn’t my style to find surf in my eye |
| It was much more my style to find sand in my eyes |
| It was just not my style to find surf in my eye |
| It was much more my style to get sand kicked in my eyes |
| Sand in my eyes |
