The Beach Life
Tony Joe White
5:10The tail of winter shows no mercy Taking it to the lower ground Crossing that long bridge in the darkness Just let the music take you down To the bayou bleus and their secret The bayou bleus that tell it all There's a mystery in the moment There's a message in their call Puberty rides the wind like an angel Silently screaming in the dark The beads are thrown from the balcony The breasts are bare to play the part And under the neon the two figures Stand looking out over the crowd Once their bodies held them prisoner Now their bodies make them proud The bayou bleus hold a secret The bayou bleus tell it all They listened to their heart's message That dealt them a two-sided card In the midst of it all the lost limo Waits quietly down the street Faceless masks taunt the visitors As they move to the Big Easy beat The bayou bleus keep the secret The bayou bleus tell it all There's a mystery in the moment There's a message in their call Bayou Bleus Bayou Bleus
