White Wave Lyrics

White Wave - Portastatic
intro:
bass
gtr
then
bass
gtr
main riff:
I remember that house boat by the pool
Yellow Brick Road on the jukebox that was cool
Now the sunburn stings and I feel like I was a kid, but I was fool
'Cause it all had strings attached right down to the milk they sold us in
school
(repeat riff)
Everything orange and yellow back then we went down the canal by ourselves
Thought we had our own crippled life, like a rope on a bell
But we were were already building a world for someone else
Yeah we were already drinkin' the dreams of someone else
You weave the rug and now pull it out
I keep thinkin' how can I just see it now
We've been riding that white wave of sound
And every innocuous spot on the dial
And every transmission is some actor's smile
We willing rode the white wave down
We rode the white wave down
(woo hoo)
