I thought I saw my God
Through frays of total blood
At some Hampton Beach club
And half-convinced he had
The things I thought he did
Hey Ritchie, it's your dad
I've gone so far away now, kid
From coast to coast and far beyond
The waves rose up like gasps
Out on the astral sea
Starships shifting in the crud
Hey, don't believe that stuff on your TV
No, I've got to leave, I can't come back
Lido Pier suicide car
Lido Pier suicide car
Lido Pier suicide car
Said, it's a straight shot drive to a life full of stars
At first it seemed a little speck
And then it seemed a little mist
We took our drinks out to the deck
We watched that silver ladder twist
We flew over the the hills, the harbor bar
Over the wakeward-flashing spray
We watched it shrink, that Jag, that Jaguar
We watched our old friends fall away
My heart, oh, feel it pounding
To watch our little town receding
Not knowing why or how we're leaving
Only believing
Lido Pier suicide car
Lido Pier suicide car
Lido Pier suicide car
Lido Pier suicide, suicide
Lido Pier suicide car
Said, he's a ramrod handshake stud
He's a steward of the land
Hand-washed in hero's blood
He's a lodger of demands
He's the hassler of the gassed-up graspers
Trying to make their grands
When he catches me in freezing seas
He'll lead me into land
He says he's gonna break my band
I just have to take that hand
Oh, crocodile!
And can you hear the shouting
Out there beyond the boundary?
Oh, and some distant voice is sounding
And what it's saying?
About a Lido Pier suicide car
Lido Pier suicide car
Lido Pier suicide, suicide
Car
