The Green Pajamas

Wild Wild Reefs

I had to cancel
I couldn't sleep
A dozen islands
A secret reef
A lazy madness
Take it on the cheek
And I made myself out to be weak
The day she noticed me on those wild wild wild wild reefs

Sold my engine
Crashed my jeep
Traded favors
But I had to leave
A few possessions
A couple sheets
And the waves pulled me back underneath
The day she noticed me on those wild wild wild wild reefs

A double Islam
A dizzy feat
No one noticed
The least of me
Mohamed Ali
He's cheek to cheek
And he crushed me through the chains with his teeth
The day she noticed me on those wild wild wild wild reefs
