Down by the Oceanside

I had the Hatteras blues almost every night
You live down by the ocean down by the oceanside
Have you got a clue? now you're on your own
Are you still complacent
A figure on the wall

Everybody wants to feel like they’re winning
Everybody wants to feel like they’re right
You said that you were ready to go. You went fishin’
Just as I was ready to go, you were fine
Down by the oceanside

In a pick up scene
All the waiters look tired
And the faces they change
When the people they smile
All the carefree wants
Blinking of the eye
It’s a mixed world
Newspaper sky

Everybody wants to feel that beginning.
Everybody wants to feel like a child
Said that you were ready to go, you went fishin’
Just as I was ready to go, you were fine
Down by the oceanside

Still got the blues
Are you on you’re own
In a mixed-up world

A figure on the wall

Everybody wants to feel like a winner
Everybody wants to feel like a child
Said that you were ready to go, but you weren’t in it
Just as I was ready to go, you were fine
Down by the oceanside
