Throw me all aroundLike a boomerang skyWhatever you doDon't tell me whyPoppies grow tallThen say bye byeThe wave is hereA seamless little teamAnd then we tankedI guess we're not so sacrosanctThe tip of my tongueBut then we blankedThe wave is hereWaiting on the windTo tell my sideReady set jetBut she never gets farListen to your skinFrom the seat of my carTwo centipedes stuckIn one glass jarThe longest waveWaiting on the windTo tell my sideWhat you want?What you need?Do you love?Maybe I'm the right oneMaybe I'm the wrongJust another play, the pirate, and the papillonTime to call it a dayMaybe you're my last loveMaybe you're my firstJust another way to play inside the universeNow I know why we cameSterile as the barrelOf an old 12 gaugeUnder my skinAnd half my ageHotter than the waxOn a saxifrageThe longest waveWaiting on the windTo turn my pageSteady your sailsFor the butterfly flapWhatever you doDon't close that gapI'm dreaming of a womanBut she's just my napYour ship is inWaiting on the tide so I can swimWhat you wantWhat you needDo you loveMaybe I'm the right oneMaybe I'm the wrongJust another play, the pirate, and the papillonTime to call it a dayMaybe you're my last loveMaybe you're my firstJust another way to play inside the universeNow I know why we cameNow I know why we cameNow I know
