Give Up The Sun - Gun Club

My hotel is blue, beautiful ocean blue

Paint melting off the walls

And I can hardly breathe

And young men nod against the palms

Turn blue and fail to breathe

But I came here to see

So, give up the sun, give up the sun

One hundred thousand times

I live just once to hear you say

Give up the sun, give up the sun

Down along the beach line

Gulls pick at bones and glass

Old Jew remembers Broadway

Along the tires and glass

I try to remember Broadway

I had a friend up there at last

But she can’t help me now

So, give up the sun, give up the sun

One hundred thousand times

I live just once to hear you say

Give up the sun, give up the sun

Give up the sun, give up the sun

But out there, the sea makes love

Waves pinwheel to the bay

Oh, don’t you leave me here

There’s ghosts and rooms of pain

There’s a storm out on the sea tonight

Bodies filled with pain

Palm wind across the sea tonight

Black with whirling pain

Alone against the docks tonight

Nobody knows my name

I can’t go back again

So, give up the sun, give up the sun

One hundred thousand times

I live just once to hear you say

Give up the sun, give up the sun

Give up the sun, give up the sun

Give up the sun, give up the sun

One hundred thousand times

I live just once to hear you say

Give up the sun, give up the sun

Give up the sun, give up the sun

Give it up, one hundred thousand times

I live just once to hear you say

Give up the sun, give up the sun

Give up the sun, give up the sun

Give up, one hundred thousand times

Live just once to hear you say

Give up the sun, give up the sun

Give up the sun, give up the sun

Give it up, one hundred thousand times
