Lido Pier Suicide Car

I thought I saw my God

Through frays of total blood

At some Hampton beach club

And half-convinced he had

The things I thought he did...

Hey, Ritchie, it's your dad

I've gone so far away now, kid

From coast to coast and far beyond

The waves rose up like gasps out on the astral sea

Starships shifting in the crud...

Don't believe that stuff on your TV

No, I've got to leave, I can't come back

Lido Pier suicide car

It's a straight shot drive to a life full of stars

At first it seemed a little speck

Then it seemed a little mist

We took our drinks out to the deck

We watched that silver ladder twist

We flew over the hills, the harbor bar

Over the wakeward-flashing spray

We watched it shrink, that Jag, that Jaguar

We watched our friends fall away

My heart, oh feel it pounding

To watch our little town receding

They're not knowing why or how we're leaving

Only believing in a Lido Pier suicide car

Lido Pier suicide car

He's a ramrod handshake stud

He's a steward of the land hand-washed in hero's blood

He's a lodger of demands

He's the hassler of the gassed-up graspers trying to make their grands

When he catches me in freezing seas, he'll lead me into land

He says he's gonna break my band

I just have to take that hand, Oh Crocodile!

And can you hear the shouting

Out there beyond the boundary?

Some distant voice is surrounding and what is it saying?

Something about a Lido Pier suicide car
