Malibu Wetsuit in the Surf for a Father and a Son

from Wake Up in L​.​A. by Jean Koning

/

lyrics

Listen up, you’re only breaking all my windows
Brave dear son, why did you go on being a weirdo
Got twenty wetsuits and you’re still completely naked
I always feel around you I just have to fake it

Did you ever make a study of my manifesto
A clear wide shot of beach life bimbo’s at the disco
You’re nothing but boredom around my Malibu mansion
This is me, man, can I get some fucking attention

You’re wandering the safe road

Lying on a board and playing with the angry waves
Lying on a board and shouting out your stupid name
So ancient, so ancient
Lying in the surf and kissing with your latest girlfriend
Your girlfriend

My girlfriend
Your girlfriend
My girlfriend

Twenty years ago, you know, I was one of them
Living on the beach, had a girlfriend I called Sam
Celebrating the bonfire, the vanity, this salty magic
How the hell did you end up so fucking tragic

You’re wandering the safe road

Lying on a board and playing with the angry waves
Lying on a board and shouting out your stupid name
So ancient, so ancient
Lying in the surf and kissing with your latest girlfriend
Your girlfriend
My girlfriend
Your girlfriend
My girlfriend
Lying on a board and playing with the angry waves
Lying on a board and shouting out your stupid name
So ancient, so ancient
Lying in the surf and kissing with your latest girlfriend
Lying on a board and playing with your former girlfriend
Lying on a board and shouting out your girlfriends name
So ancient, so ancient
Lying in the surf and kissing with your latest girlfriend
Your girlfriend
My girlfriend
Your girlfriend
My girlfriend

Listen up, you’ve just lost your latest girlfriend
Why do you keep accepting, why don’t you take a stand
I’m sorry that you caught us in here all wet and naked
I’m sorry to tell you boy, but with you she had to fake it
