“Paia Nightshade #9
… the Groovy Teenage Maui Lyrical Version ”

………………………………
A Stolen scene from Casablanca
with gypsies in the wings
a golden candlelight’s escaping
as it whispers secret things
coconuts are crashing
through the cactus and the jade
meanwhile seven sacred sisters
are watching moonbows fade
……………………..
Another shell upon the shore
My former self is washing up and wanting more
Another shell upon the shore
You give me shivers
Your freedom on the dance floor
Your freedom on the dance floor
Your freedom on the dance floor
……………………………………………..
Now I’m rolling on a deep groove
as my skateboard’s sliding down
Baldwin Avenue is slipping
into Paia Town
A land of coconut milk and honey
slap back and circumstance
with cosmic chaos in the tropics
beneath Pueo’s glance
……………………………………………..
Another shell upon the shore
My former self is washing up and wanting more
Another shell upon the shore
You give me shivers
Your freedom on the dance floor
Your freedom on the dance floor
Your freedom on the dance floor
…………………………………………….
Now the lizards in the lounge chair
as the Eastern winds they trade
You’ll find me searching for the substance
in Paia’s Nightshade
A little glimpse of North Shore Maui
where the gypsies surf the wind
and golden sunsets are escaping
as they’re chanting sacred things
……………………………………………..
Another shell upon the shore
My former self is washing up and wanting more
Another shell upon the shore
You give me shivers
Your freedom on the dance floor
Your freedom on the dance floor
Your freedom on the dance floor
