lyrics

CAPO 6th C G Am F

We are one with the universe
when we dive into the pool
we’re just dust from exploding stars
but I put on my dancing shoes

and head downtown to meet strangers
to feel the dangers of the night
I head downtown to meet strangers
to feel the dangers of the night

Warm vibes slow beats
lure me down to the ocean
and a bar full of cats
that's where I see you dancing in orange
and I say Hey I haven’t seen you here before
But I danced to this song
I can’t decide if it’s happy or sad
But I feel like it belongs
in those backstreets behind the harbor
when all the tourists are gone and the stores are closed but theres a mountain full of thistles
and it wakes up to this song

it’s a crocodile song
it’s a warning

We should come here every winter
maybe write a book and go off grid
the beach is empty around midnight
they said not to go here but we did
and we lay down watching waves rise
in our kingdom, island time
one day the crocodile is gonna wake up
and that’s the end of you and I

we are one with the universe
when we dive into the pool
we’re just dust from exploding stars
but dust don’t talk like we do

quiet warm night
beats from a distant bar
bet they have coffee in the morning
and I will play my guitar
