Meet me down by the whale watch
Meet me down by the sea
Meet me down at 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
See her down in the surf
You might think she's Christ-like
But my lover is childlike
See the fish swimming upstream
Back to the hills
Want no part in the whale watch
If you couldn't tell
My lover ain't Christ-like
But my lover is childlike
She don't care for country
In her tatters and rags
As the band plays the anthem
She whispers, "God hates flags"
