Meet me down by the whale watch Meet me down by the sea Meet me down in Coney Island We'll go out on the sea So don't ask me no questions 'Cause I don't cry no wolf By the ruins of the Ferris wheel See your doubt in the surf You might think she's Christ-like But my lover is childlike
See the fish swimming upstream Back to the hills Want no part in the whale watch If you couldn't tell My lover ain't Christ-like But my lover is childlike She don't care for country In her tatters and rags But the band plays the anthem She whispers, God hates flags
