Lyrics

Methamphetamine, pink flamingo
Blue 50s queen, Blue Oyster Cove
For then a dream, why don't we go
To Coney Island?

When the hour numb, the gala's on
The record spins, blue 50s song
The veranda looks ocean-on
Neon palms sway

What's happening? Where did we go?
The Jersey Shore was long ago
As with our hopes and ocean glow
And so I bid you farewell
