Sign of Surrender
I-95
We saw the heat rise off the road
Beneath an unforgiving sky
She heaved a sigh
"I feel the sunlight right between my thighs
Pull over, I'm on fire."
Carolina line
She rolled the window down
And turned the radio up loud and sang
A tall stand of pines
We counted waves of red and yellow signs
To try and stay awake
She made the moon rise
She turned her blue eyes away when I
Tried to find
Some kind of sign of surrender
She made the moss weep
I tried with all my strength but I
Never could divine her ghost
Parked in the shade
We saw a smuggler land and throw
A load of bales out on the glades
We lay in wait
But late in the day the federal agents came
And went in and they hauled our little gold mine away
She made the moon rise
She turned her blue eyes away when I
Tried to find
Some kind of sign of surrender
She made the moss weep
I tried with all my strength but I
Never could divine her ghost
Lost in the Keys
We fell asleep on some old
Silent picture idol's private beach
Then while I dreamed
She brushed the sand from both her
Sun-tanned knees and she left me to the sea
She made the moon rise
She turned her blue eyes away when I
Tried to find
Some kind of sign of surrender
She made the moss weep
I tried with all my strength but I
Never could divine her ghost
Oh, no, no (woo, oh)
Woo-hoo-ooo-ooo-ooo
Woo-hoo-ooo-ooo
Woo-hoo-ooo-ooo
Woo-hoo-ooo-ooo
We saw the heat rise off the road
Beneath an unforgiving sky
She heaved a sigh
"I feel the sunlight right between my thighs
Pull over, I'm on fire."
Carolina line
She rolled the window down
And turned the radio up loud and sang
A tall stand of pines
We counted waves of red and yellow signs
To try and stay awake
She made the moon rise
She turned her blue eyes away when I
Tried to find
Some kind of sign of surrender
She made the moss weep
I tried with all my strength but I
Never could divine her ghost
Parked in the shade
We saw a smuggler land and throw
A load of bales out on the glades
We lay in wait
But late in the day the federal agents came
And went in and they hauled our little gold mine away
She made the moon rise
She turned her blue eyes away when I
Tried to find
Some kind of sign of surrender
She made the moss weep
I tried with all my strength but I
Never could divine her ghost
Lost in the Keys
We fell asleep on some old
Silent picture idol's private beach
Then while I dreamed
She brushed the sand from both her
Sun-tanned knees and she left me to the sea
She made the moon rise
She turned her blue eyes away when I
Tried to find
Some kind of sign of surrender
She made the moss weep
I tried with all my strength but I
Never could divine her ghost
Oh, no, no (woo, oh)
Woo-hoo-ooo-ooo-ooo
Woo-hoo-ooo-ooo
Woo-hoo-ooo-ooo
Woo-hoo-ooo-ooo
