Hawaiian Tropic

Hawaiian tropic, dark and a bottle of Jack

In the Cadillac, as I drive down the highway

You aren't coming back and I know that now

So I let the wind hit me in my face



Every man gets his wish, every man gets his wish



Your red Hawaiian shirt and your hair jet black

Hanging 'round with your friends, by the track

Baby, you can't come back from being that bad

Just to sit at home, pledge allegiance to the flag



Every man gets his wish, every man gets his wish

You told me this

Now you're gone



Copacabana, yes, in my party dress

I'm shimmering in love on that crystal meth

A Coca Cola kid, rollercoaster child

You're my everything, give me that baby doll smile



Every man gets his wish, every man gets his wish

You told me this

Where is mine?



Every man gets his wish, every man gets his wish

You told me this

Were you lyin'?



And the velvet Elvis and the rosaries

And your white Corvette under willow trees

You the one for me

My one true king...



Every man gets his wish, every man gets his wish

You told me this

Now you're gone



Every man gets his wish, every man gets his wish

You told me this

Now you're gone



(Every man gets his wish, every man gets his wish)

I remember party dresses

(Every man gets his wish)

(Now you're gone)

I remember party dresses



Every man gets his wish, every man gets his wish

But sometimes it comes too late...
