From the recording Into the Jersey Shore
Lyrics
Verse 1
Did you know that
in nineteen thirty-one
There was an excavation
of a New York subway they say
To the Intracoastal Waterway, and the jetty
Pre-Chorus
It connects the Atlantic
To the Manasquan River
Verse 2
Did you know he's a ripper, a shredder, a charger
In fact it don't get, any larger
A true pro, that rarely eats it
But when he does, he really eats shit
Verse 3
Now she gets wet and paddles deep
She'll run the chimney sweep (on yah)
Fuck etiquette
If it means she'll miss the bomb set
You better bet, she gone rip that set
Out the Inlet
Pre-Chorus
It connects the Atlantic
To the Manasquan River
Chorus
Never miss your wave
You gotta be brave, Don't cave
And Never Pull Out, no doubt
Ride that wave to the grave
Wave to the tidal wave
Rap 1
Can you see the T-shirts
advertising all the adverts
Catch it at the inlet
I feel the onset of a wet sunset
Paddle Out, No Fear
Grab your gear and disappear
Surf all year
Grab a set, near the pier
Look out for the Kooks and fisherman's hooks
So you need a handbook, a guidebook?
How bout a pocketbook? How bout a left hook?
Project Green Book, absent on the day of the yearbook
A short order cook, gave up on the dreams and never took
what was his, to keep and take, you know a keep take
The type that is a heartache from the daybreak
The type you get an earache and a bellyache
Listening to all the retakes of their mistakes
Everything's a fast break, a newsbreak for God's sake
How bout a remake? How bout you partake
Get Imperial
Then let's get physical, maniacal
Geophysical and metaphysical
Pre-Chorus
It connects the Atlantic
To the Manasquan River
Chorus
Never miss your wave
You gotta be brave, Don't cave
And Never Pull Out, no doubt
Ride that wave to the grave
Wave to the tidal wave
Chorus
Never miss your wave
You gotta be brave, Don't cave
And Never Pull Out, no doubt
Ride that wave to the grave
Wave to the tidal wave
Rap 2
Can you see the alerts
Especially from the experts
You're either all the way out
Or all the way in
You either paddle out
Or paddle back in
A front row ticket to your own demise
Isn't very wise
You know, everyone wears a disguise
It's no surprise
In your world, everything goes counter-clockwise
You ain't afraid to capsize
You already said your goodbyes
You already got new allies
You already been baptized into the franchise
With a fall guy and a door prize
Verse 4
But as the tides rise
So shall the moon rise
and so shall the sun in the sky
Rap 3
NO more Colombian neckties
for anything resembling a compromise
So now what? You're tongue tied?
All you needed was to tenderize and verbalize
Declassify your classified side
There's no more time to dramatize, to go nuclearized
To psychoanalyze. And yeah (That's Psycho!)
No more time to itemize and justify
all the outcries, are just lullabies
They unmagnetized
the love that was realized
and now it’s politicized
and paralyzed and patronized
sermonized and strategized
And just leaves you stupefied
Time To turn tide and get imperial
Geophysical and Metaphysical
Pre-Chorus
It connects the Atlantic
Guitar Instrumental
Are you the type that's a heartache from the daybreak
The type you get an earache and a bellyache
Listening to all your mistakes
Everything's a newsbreak, a newsbreak, a newsbreak
You’re extra, you’re extra, (Read all about it!)
How bout a retake? How bout you partake
Get Imperial
Then let's get physical, maniacal
Geophysical and metaphysical
Pre-Chorus
It connects the Atlantic
To the Manasquan River
Chorus
Never miss your wave
You gotta be brave, Don't cave
And Never Pull Out, no doubt
Ride that wave to the grave
Wave to the tidal wave
Final Chorus
Never miss your wave
You gotta be brave, Don't cave
And Never Pull Out, no doubt
Ride that wave to the grave
Wave to the tidal wave
Guitar Instrumental
