julie said we drink far too much coffee

wine and cigarettes and we never get no sleep

i first met them at a riverboat party

both of them were speeding i would say

i lived on the edge of all this indulgence

taking notes and trusting in prudence

julie said to jim why don't we jump in

while the water is cool and we are still friends

some say that they o.d.'d on leonard cohen

well i can see that river whenever i think about them

the river is cruel and the water is deep and blue

i was working then on my great unfinished novel

"please let introduce myself my name is ronald"

i was okay there until i lost my cool

now let me introduce you to the rest of the crew

it wasn't my style to find surf in my eye

it was much more my style to find sand in my eyes

though there is absolutely no truth to be discovered

albeit truth then is nothing to be found

we academics are not easily discouraged

lloyd you know wits they come three to the pound

julie said to jim look at the state we're in

it was never her intention to conclude anything

it wasn't my style to find surf in my eye

it was much more my style to find sand in my eyes

it was just not my style to find surf in my eye

it was much more my style to get sand kicked in my eyes

sand in my eyes
