Going to Malibu
John Darnielle
[Verse 1]
When we meet on neutral ground
I can't believe how good you look
And the thoughts that race around my mind
Fill a long unreadable book and
[Chorus 1]
I can hear the waves
I can sense the continent eroding
You say you know why I called you here
But you couldn't have any way of knowing
So that's not true
That's a mean thing to say
That's a damnable lie
That's a damnable lie
[Verse 2]
Looking at you, and I don't know
What it is I see
But I know you're changing
Almost indetectably
[Chorus 2]
And I see a ship off the shore
And I imagine it sinking
And you smile and you say that you know
What it is that I'm thinking
That's not true
That's a rotten thing to say
That's a damnable lie
That's a damnable lie
