People On The Beach (No one in the water)

from Hollywood World by Neil Chapman

/

about

I wrote this with Robert Priest. It's about our water being so messed up nobody goes swimming anymore even though it's hot outside. What's wrong with this picture?

lyrics

PEOPLE ON THE BEACH

Oh the madman who writes the code in the sand is becoming a permanent fixture
Seagulls fly, land in the sand their footprints read like Scripture

They say something, something's not quite right
What's wrong with this picture?

Oh and the clown he gestures to the waves as they dance upon the shore
Smokestacks tower like temples above as the waves begin to roar
They say something, something's not quite right
What's wrong with this picture?
Yeah they say something something's not quite right
What's wrong with this picture?

Ah the wind sounds like a warning of war in some forgotten speech
Spoken by that madman to the people on the beach

People on the beach say there's no one in the sky
yet each wave seems to reach for those that pass it by
Fish come swimming in upside down
their bellies read like scripture

They say something something's not quite right
What's wrong with this picture?

It's hot outside, nobody goes in the water
What's wrong with this picture?

People on the beach no one in the water
