Dónde Está la Playa Lyrics
Well, it's back to the battle today.
But I wouldn't have it any other way.
Cause tonight we'll be crazy as kooks.
I'm dancing, grooving. This lovely wooden floor.
The tom-toms are beating on. Eyes are so sore.
There is still sand in my suitcase.
There is still salt in my teeth.
I kissed her in the window.
She covered up her face.
She's pretty, Sherry.
But I'm far, far too late.
Someone said, man, let's take a drive.
So here I am. So here I am.
I crashed up a party, nickels and dimes,
A handful of strangers, all friends of mine.
I know that you're married, rings on your hand.
So I didn't stay 'til the end.
I don't need a Christmas card.
You don't need to write.
Last Christmas was black and blue, but this year is white.
The void repeats, repeats a sound so deep in my head.
Goodnight. Keep your shirt on. You can leave the way you came.
But I wouldn't have it any other way.
Cause tonight we'll be crazy as kooks.
The tom-toms are beating on. Eyes are so sore.
There is still salt in my teeth.
She covered up her face.
She's pretty, Sherry.
But I'm far, far too late.
So here I am. So here I am.
A handful of strangers, all friends of mine.
So I didn't stay 'til the end.
You don't need to write.
Last Christmas was black and blue, but this year is white.
Goodnight. Keep your shirt on. You can leave the way you came.

Cool, moody song with awesome underwater drums, definitely an amazing opener
Most intriguing line: I crashed up a party, nickels and dimes,
A lot of lines in this song and album have that weathered traveler aesthetic and are just awesome:
There is still sand in my suitcase. There is still salt in my teeth.
Lots and lots more, you know. I love that nickels and dimes line though.
Love the Waltz style bass line. Reminds me a bit of The Stranglers "Golden Brown".
Diggin' this new album for sure!
"Back to the battle today" - what a wonderful line to open the album!
sounds like he reunited with an ex for a night, but he knows there is no future. so he just gets drunk & tries to forget about her, but his heart still aches
so beautiful so goddamn beautiful
