Meet me down by the whale watch,
Meet me down by the sea.
Meet me down in Coney Island,
We'll go out on the sea.So don't ask me no questions,
Cause I don't cry no more.
By the ruins of the Ferris Wheel,
Sinking down in the surf.You might think she's crying, crying
My lover is childlike.See the fish swimming up stream,
Back to the hills.
Want no part in the whale watch,
If you couldn't tell.My lover is crying, crying
My lover is childlike.
She don't care for country,
In tatters and rags.
While the band plays the anthem,
She whispers "God hates flags".
