Trying to Reason With Hurricane Season Squalls out on the Gulf Stream Big storm's comin' soon I passed out in my hammock God I slept 'til way past noon Stood up and tried to focus I hoped I wouldn't have to look far I knew I could use a Bloody Mary So I stumbled next door to the bar And now I must confess I could use some rest I can't run at this pace very long Yes, it's quite insane I think it hurts my brain But it cleans me out and then I can go on Somethin' about a Sunday It's the most peculiar gray Strollin' down the avenue That's known as A1A Feelin' tired then I got inspired I knew that it wouldn't last long So all alone I walked back home Sat on the beach and then I made up this song And now I must confess I could use some rest I can't run at this pace very long Yes, it's quite insane I think it hurts my brain But it cleans me out then I can go on Well the wind is blowin' harder now 50 knots or thereabouts There's white caps on the ocean And I am watchin' for water spouts It's time to close the shutters It's time to go inside In a week I'll be in Old Paris Hell that's a mighty long airplane ride And now I must confess I could use some rest I can't run at this pace very long Yes, it's quite insane I think it hurts my brain But it cleans me out and then I can go on Yes, it cleans me out, then I can go on (Yeah, it cleans me out and then I can go on)
