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,
Sinking down in the surf.

You might think she's Christ-like
My lover is childlike.

See the fish swimming up stream,
Back to the hills.
Want no part in the whale watch,
If you couldn't tell.

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

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