Hey Ocean! - Madera lyrics

rate me

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

(???I seeth at a stone???) 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.
