a sugar cane beauty
a strapping young doll
no one could claim they were
not jealous at all
half Carolina princess
half sweet Georgia peach
this bleached ray of sun was found
washed up on the beach
she had several bruises
between her tan lines
yet no one could solve this
indelible crime
it wasn’t the first time
and it won’t be the last time
keep swimming girl
keep floating away
your arms on the waves girl
you’re safer that way
(and that’s how you’ll stay)
time came for confessions
her journal was read
seemed no one had heard
the warnings she’d said
there was something in her head
so she swam ashore instead
keep swimming girl
keep floating away
your arms are the waves girl
and you’re safer this way
keep swimming girl
you’ve a lifetime to pray
your arms are the waves girl
and that’s how you’ll stay
your arms are the waves girl
it’s better this way
