lyrics

The man on the moon is watching
He has his eyes open wide
The girls in the street are dancing
Hiking their skirts up high
The sailors, they're all drinking
Drinking cheap red wine
Me and Maria go swimming
Swimming in the evening tide

The drunkards are in the gutters
The beggars are beginning to cry
The sidewalk preacher is screaming
And waving his bible high
The actress in the alley is laughing
She says, "We're all gonna die"
Me and Maria go swimming
Swimming in the evening tide

Me and Maria go swimming
Swimming in the evening tide
Me and Maria go swimming
But we don't come out alive

Blackbirds scatter the rooftops
Children scatter the streets
All the babies are in their cradles
Softly and gently they sleep
The bearded prophet is speaking
He says, "The answer is inside"
Me and Maria go swimming
Swimming in the evening tide

Lost souls scatter the graveyard
Stars scatter the sky
All the soldiers are showing their war wounds
And bearing the stars and stripes
The gamblers are asleep in the barroom
With a deck of cards by their side
Me and Maria go swimming
Swimming in the evening tide

Me and Maria go swimming
Swimming in the evening tide
Me and Maria go swimming
But we don't come out alive

The band in the street is marching
Blowing their trumpets loud
The widowed wife is weeping
Like a drunken carnival clown
The sad-eyed poet is babbling
He says, "It's all a goddamn lie"
Me and Maria go swimming
Swimming in the evening tide

Me and Maria go swimming
But we don't come out alive
