Summer nights, no, I can't wait
Sidewalks glisten, the dead don't listen as I glide along the cape
Surf is poolin' at my feet
In the sunshine, foreclosures line the street
Fluorescent buildings on patrol to make you sick
As if the traffic weren't enough
Terracotta roofs, an army resting underneath
I think the folks have got it rough
Weekend for two, book your flight soon, on Air Blue
That South Beach
Where the girls would rather tan than read the news
Clock says 6 am, I'd rather snooze
Won't need your coat, forget your shoes
Take a midnight cruise down that South Beach
Breeze is wafting from the shore
High-rise buildings, wealthy living
Distracts the eye from the poor
Witness the fall of Samaritan kind
The tabloids cry out of sight out of mind
Fluorescent buildings on patrol to make you sick
As if the traffic weren't enough
Terracotta roofs, an army resting underneath
I think the folks have got it rough
Weekend for two, book your flight soon, on Air Blue
That South Beach
That South Beach
Where the girls would rather tan than read the news
Clock says 6 am, I'd rather snooze
Won't need your coat, forget your shoes
Take a midnight cruise down that South Beach
Say so long to all your childhood dreams
Mid-life crisis along the blistering seas
The weight of how your life should be
Will bring you to your knees down that South Beach
