Verse 1 
 
Ain't nothing like the windy city, where the station wagon died 
 
Where the wild dogs ruin the fences, and the horsemen fences ride 
 
Where the flatlands become the flatlands, and the caravans collide 
 
I'm just sitting 'neath the mango   running a tide 
 
Verse 2 
 
Took a ride on a bin train, 50 cars or more 
 
They say the heads are just insane, but it's to risky to score 
 
Sitting on the lawn with Andrea, dragging the line for river red 
 
Everyone look better with a sun tan, easier to get you into bed 
 
Chorus 
 
Daughters of the northern coast, sons of the beaches, don't deliver the post, you know the post is a ghost 
 
Verse 3 
 
Lee Marlin went looking for a marvin, while we were looking for a line in the pub 
 
Hey, and still the black mans starving, no wonder nobody wants a job 
 
Helicopter over homestead, stirring all the young blades at night 
 
They're stepping out there in the sultry summer evening, their pistols all packed and their badges so bright 
 
Chorus & Solo 
 
Verse 4 
 
Took a ride on a bin train, 50 cars or more 
 
They say the heads are just insane, but it's to risky to score 
 
Andrea's been giving me a towel down, standing on a Palm Beach shore 
 
If those girls keep a doin' that thing, I can't wait for next year, I'm gonna come back for more 
 
Chorus
