Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers

Counterclockwise
Bought a pancho and sandalsI threw away my shoesBrought a toothbrush and a razorI probably won't useHit the track, turned my backOn the Headline NewsOn my way to meet the moon on the bayWhere she's risin' big and full and blueWhere the gringo boys got their dark sunglassesAnd the girls on the beachAre all shakin' their fingersCause no matter how dark the lensesThey can see that the eyesAnd the minds of the boysAre somewhere they ain't supposed to be....The breeze is blowin' me a new perfumeIt's givin' my heart a little elbow roomAnd the kids are lightin' firecrackersBoom! Boom! Boom!No one recalls when the clock on the wallStopped wavin' its hands all dayMaybe it died of loneliness or boredomRest in peace, you know it's better this wayLetras de cancionesThe breeze is blowin' me a new perfumeIt's givin' my heart a little elbow roomAnd the kids are lightin' firecrackersBoom! Boom! Boom!And all my friends are laughin'At each other's liesAnd the sea is singin' lullabiesAnd everything's slowin' downFlowin' counterclockwiseSome of the Americans are ugly AmericansBut we know we ain't all that waySo we nod and we smileAnd we wait a little whileBecause they never stay anywhereVery long, anywayThe breeze is blowin' me a new perfumeIt's givin' my heart a little elbow roomAnd the kids are lightin' firecrackersBoom! Boom! Boom!And all my friends are laughin'At each other's liesAnd the sea is singin' lullabiesAnd everything's slowin' downFlowin' counterclockwise... From Letras Mania
