The Coast Was Always Clear

There is a storm over St. Lucia We've been watching the boats and we're sure they know something we don't How the bar staff talk of magic, something greater and romantic And the cab drivers swear as the lightning splits at the sky And all our friends are tour guides We cut deals with the natives Yes, yes, me and her I guess we're kinda the same (So face the efforts of?) Both fell out of grace and afterparty shame We get gracious when we can (Gracious hospitality) Let's talk about taxis (We talked about taxis, we talked about coming back) Who's watching the coast? Who's watching the coast? Who's watching the coast? Who's watching the coast, and who's watching you? We should have stayed in touch For when we ran out of luck We should have stayed in touch There is a storm over St. Lucia The streets are still warm but the spotlights are baiting the clouds Oh, the air's cool in this taxi I let the city-stain slide past me 3 hours sleep and we talk about going home And all our friends are tour guides We cut deals with the natives Yes, yes, me and her I guess we're kinda the same Drowned our losses with inheritance claims (Drown our losses) Now we're less careless where we stand (Less careless where we stand) Explicit examples to use up yr life while you can Who's watching the coast? Who's watching the coast? Who's watching the coast? Who's watching the coast, and who's watching you? We should have stayed in touch For when we ran out of luck We should have stayed in touch He's half asleep for you He's half asleep for you He's half asleep for you Half asleep...
