Hawaii Lyrics

Wether you're in L.A., sunny laid back L.A.
Wether you in New York, comfort 'round your block
Wether you're in the UK, where the sky is dark
and the grass is kinda green , you know like central park.
Still my favorite place in this whole wide world
has got to be in the middle of the ocean floor.
I see you poking out the ocean.
Paradise on earth.
The 50th State - What?! Hawaii

(A nuclear disaster might be on our way, I don't care I'm in the USA).

Whether you're drunk or stoned or we're sober and old.
If I'm with you I'm a happy man.
If you feel safe and cold while you count your gold.
If your problem is you can't find your remote control.
Still my favorite person in the whole wide world
is the woman who can understand every word
and when she speaks to me she makes me see the whole wide world
as my favorite place. Hawaii.

We got it made. Yes, I know.
Can we go by plane or boat.

Wether you take it slow or you let me go.
Wether you tell me something that I did not know.
Wether you’re neat and polite or you scream and fight.
Wether you keep something from me that I would not like.
Still my favorite attitude in this whole wide world so far
Is the friendly spirit or an iron heart,
like the way folks are in whis most special place.
I don’t care what happens, I’m taking a plane to...

Hawaii, Hawaii, Hawaii, Hawaii,
Hawaii, Hawaii, Hawaii, Hawaii.

Kauai or Oahu, Molokai and Lanai.
Maui and the big guy, aka Hawaii.

(Cut off from Malaysia back in who knows when...)

Oh, we got kinda lost, but my god, what a place.
I profess, Airforce jets cannot take away my soul.

Damn, this song is catchy. I can't stop listening to it. Probably their most "fun" song. Shame it didn't make it to the album.

Drug or alcohol addicted person is very irresponsible. Sharing needles, non protected relation with people that they don't know, getting disease the individual will suffer for the rest of his life. Also it can bring the individual in to criminal activities that will bring him to spend part of his life in prison as a large percentage of the crimes are directly related to substance abuse. Also it can mean the addicted individual will die due to his life style or his direct use of Drugs. They do not see the "world" as it is. The goal of the intervention...

I quite like this song. I think the first part of the lyrics are clear enough : people who live in the USA think nothing can happen to them ("A nuclear disaster might be on our way, I don't care I'm in the USA"), they feel safe because they are rich and so they think they have everything they want ("If you feel safe and cold while you count your gold. If your problem is you can't find your remote control."). That's what I think... And why are some sentences between braces ? I can't hear them in the song...

"I think the first part of the lyrics are clear enough : people who live in the USA think nothing can happen to them ("A nuclear disaster might be on our way, I don't care I'm in the USA"), they feel safe because they are rich and so they think they have everything they want"

sorry to be correcting you 3 years after your post but this line is reffering to hawaii's distance from north korea.
