Here at laughing pines
where the party never ends
there's a spicy new attraction
on the funway
you can scan yourself
for traces of old heartaches
the details of desire
shimmering - shimmering
Yowie! - it's connie lee
at the wheel of her shark-de-ville
we're cruisin' at about a thousand miles an hour
but the car is standin' still
so good to hear that crazy laugh
to hear her whisper hold me tight
to learn to love all over again
on that warm wet april night
Chorus:
swing out
to lake nostalgia
route 5 to laughing pines
get off at funway west
drive into springtime
drive into springtime
Easter break - '66
a shack on cape sincere
mad mona bakin' gospel candy
it was a radical year
we get a little silly
and fall into microspace
it's even better this time around
with coltrane on the k.l.h.
Chorus
It's you and me honey, in a crowded booth
at the smokehouse in the sand
i'm dragging out some bad old gag
when you touch my hand
at 4 a.m. we go out of this place
you look absurdly sweet
we hike downtown to avenue a
like we own the street
Chorus
