Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Door is locked, my gums are bleeding
Outside she reads, outside she is reading
The evacuation procedure
Out loud
[Verse 2]
Clothes are off, my health receding
Somewhere she dreams, somewhere she is dreaming
Of Caribbean Nica Libres
At dusk
[Chorus]
While the faithful dispose of a generation
And all of the mountains whisper knowingly
I order a colada and sit to count my dollars
And watch eagles soar in circles
Perpetually
[Verse 3]
Door is locked, my gums are bleeding
Outside she reads, outside she is reading
The evacuation procedure
Out loud
[Verse 4]
Clothes are off, my health receding
Somewhere she dreams, somewhere she is dreaming
Of Caribbean Nica Libres
At dusk
[Chorus]
While the faithful dispose of a generation
And all of the mountains rumble knowingly
I order a colada and sit to count my dollars
And watch eagles soar in circles
Perpetually
[Bridge]
Forever, forever
Such a beautiful thing
[Chorus]
Now I am older, I don't look over my shoulder
I know what is there in front of me
Ten Marlboro cigarettes, rolled the butts into the bottle tops
Today I will stare at the sea
Till my eyes have had enough
[Outro]
Enough, enough
Is that enough?
