Hey Ocean! - Madera lyrics

Oh, la la la la la la (scat) Well, the boys from the south played guitar on the porch As we surfed in the waves trying not to get scorched by the sun that day Man, we had fun that day And that night after dark when our bellies were full The fireflies, they came out for a private light show And I couldn't believe that we soon had to leave Sweet Madera I've got to get back to Madera You know that I'll miss my Madera Oh, Madera (Scat) Well we talked 'round the table until the dawn came And then lay in our beds listening to the rain on the tin roof above Whispering about love As our thoughts drifted off to the sounds of the night, oh the clouds opened wide letting in the sweet light And we watched the sun rise, saying our last goodbyes to Madera You know that I'll miss my Madera I've got to get back to Madera Oh Madera, Oh Madera Oh Madera, Oh oh oh oh, Madera Now I'm stuck in the city and feeling the strain These faces and business suits all look the same Is this my fate? Is this my faith? Oh, the buildings grow tall and they start to close in Stuck between cement walls and my blood's running thin I hit the machines and look up to the sky The buildings are reaching ten thousand floors high I breathe in the smoke and expensive perfume While I tan in the headlights and swim in the fumes A call from a driver, stuck in the gridlock And one from a man this city's forgotten What (went) here before where these structures now stand? The earth, and its roots, from which all that began (Unintelligible) just to butcher the tree We're the only Creature that preaches the greatness of man With the silicone beaches And the bleach-covered sand Oil stained ocean brews from blue to black We will never get back, no, we'll never get back! Oh no no no, no no no (Instrumental) We've got to get back We've got to get back We'll never get back No, we'll never get back! (Instrumental) To Madera, I've got to get back to Madera You know that I'll miss You, Madera, Oh Madera.
