Intro: Main Riff (x 4)

{Bass}

I remember redwood trees, bumper cars and wolverines

The ocean's Trident submarines

Lemons, limes and tangerines

I remember this

I remember traffic jams

Motor boys and girls with tans

Nearly was and almost rans

I remember this

{Main Riff x 4}

{Riff #2}

History is made

{Riff #2} {Riff #2}

History is made to seem unfair

I recall that you were there

{Riff #2}

Golden smile and shining hair

{Riff #2}

I recall it wasn't fair

{Riff #2}

Recollect it wasn't fair

{Riff #2}

Remembering it wasn't fair outside

{Main Riff}

The willow at high tide

The lowest ebb and highest tide

The simple wave I must confide

I guess we took a slow ride

{Riff #3}

I guess it's just a gesture

{Bass}

I remember this defense

Progress fails pacific sense

All those sweet conspiracies

I remember all these things

{Riff #2}

I remember traffic jams

{Riff #2}

Motor boys and girls with tans

{Riff #2}

Nearly was and almost rans

{Riff #2}

I remember this

This

{Main Riff x 4}

{Main Riff}

The willow at high tide

The lowest ebb and highest tide

The simple wave I must confide

I guess we took a slow ride

{Riff #3}

I guess it's just a gesture

At the end of the continent

At the edge of the continent
