The Beach Bum

Walking slowly along the shore His feet sinking into the wet sand There were no people he'd have to ignore That's the way it was planned Leaving his wife in Kansas six months ago Traveling to California, his home Kansas made him depressed and low In California he would forever roam He came home to start his life over He'd made a terrible mistake Now home, he'd be rolling in clover A new life for himself he'd make Here in California he was a success But he married and lost everything Now he's back to undo the mess He never should have given her a ring Well now he's free to start again Or to lay in the sun and bake He wants his life to be the way it was then Before he ate wedding cake But alas, he's still walks along the shore And lays on the hot white sand He doesn't want to do anymore Will someone give him a hand? The blue/green water and azure sky The crashing sound of the wave Billowing clouds floating by And something more he does crave 'Puff' the magic dragon that lives by the shore And 'Lucy' in the sky with diamonds, ya Without them he is such a bore With them he can relax and dream, ah This is the life of a reptilian in human form He's not happy on planet earth He'll be glad for the coming storm So he can have a new birth.
