Hawaii All the paintings and the sketches laid scattered on the sand And the condominium was close at hand Things were getting hard to follow, I was feeling pretty hollow When a stranger came to me and put out his hand I think we better talk there's something you don't understand About Hawaii Hawaii With my baby and my bicycle I up and rode away And many nights have passed since that morning came my way And I think about him often with his vitamins and kids Does he sleep with half a woman on his mind While the other half just got left behind In Hawaii Hawaii

Give me strength to realize she's gone I'm riding down this wet in my old car The moon is almost full except for star shine The party ended long before the night She made me feel alive and that's all right The happier you fly the sadder you fall The laughter in your eyes is never all Give me strength to move along Give me strength to realize she's gone

 Traffic cops are all color blind People steal from their own kind Evening comes too early for a stroll Down neon streets the streaker streaks The speaker speaks, but the truth still leaks Where even Richard Nixon has got soul Even Richard Nixon has got it... soul The podium rocks in the crowded waves The speaker talks of the beautiful saves That went down long before he played this role For the hotel queens and the magazines Test tube genes and slot machines Where even Richard Nixon has got soul Even Richard Nixon has got it... soul
Repeat intro
Hospitals have made him cry But there's always a freeway in his eye Though his beach just got too crowded for his stroll Roads stretch out like healthy veins And wild gift horses strain the reins Where even Richard Nixon has got soul Even Richard Nixon has got soul I am a lonely visitor I came too late to cause a stir Though I campaigned all my life towards that goal
