| Lying on the beach with desire |
| Rocking to the music of the waves |
| I was in despair |
| My heart needed repair |
| My lover had lied to me but |
| I was bored by what I saw there |
| Why? |
| Why! |
| Why? |
| My father was a lighthouse keeper |
| Watched the waves getting steeper |
| Watched the ships going down |
| In cadillacs they sailed with the tide |
| Beneath the pier the sea she stroked the night |
| I rocked a little then |
| I moved my body again |
| My lover kissed my lips |
| I was digging what I saw there |
| Why! |
| Why? |
| Why! |
| My father was a lighthouse keeper |
| Watched the waves getting steeper |
| Watched the ships going down |
| We watched the days slip by and the stars explode |
| And we watched them once again |
| Oh the laughter rose a cheer |
| Oh the laughter so nice to hear |
| Oh the laughter so good and free |
| Oh the laughter so nice to see |
| I lay among the shells and coke cans |
| In my lover |
| All the people were eating |
| And smiling sadly in their big cars |
| My father looked down from his lighthouse |
| He saw it all he knew it all |
| Then he laughed a little |
| Oh so pretty |
| Oh so easy |
