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 wolf
By the ruins of the Ferris wheel
See your doubt in the surf

You might think she's Christ-like
But my lover is childlike

See the fish swimming upstream
Back to the hills
Want no part in the whale watch
If you couldn't tell

My lover ain't Christ-like
But my lover is childlike

She don't care for country
In her tatters and rags
As the band plays the anthem
She whispers, "God hates flags"
