(Music and Lyrics by Duncan Sheik)
(Spoken)
PATRICK: To Tim Price's house?
EVELYN: Well, it's just sitting there, Patrick. I'll book us a helicopter.
PATRICK: As in an aircraft?
EVELYN: What would you have us do, Patrick, rent a Volvo?
EVELYN: (Sung)
We'll go for a bike ride
We'll head to the beach
If you bring the Prosecco
I'll bring the peach
Behind the hedges
There, down the lane
They're playing badminton
It's a dangerous game.
Dangerous game.
Well everything's glowing
All is sublime.
At the end of an island
In summertime.
PATRICK:
There's only one problem
I'm losing my mind
At the end of an island
In summertime
PATRICK: (Spoken)
We jog and go windsurfing.
We talk about romantic things like the moon-rise in October over the hills of Virginia.
We take bubble baths in Tim's big marble tub, go skinny dipping in the ocean,
snuggle under cashmere blankets but, okay something is off.
One morning, whilst shopping for croissants at Dean & DeLucas in town I swear I see Tim Price looking at me...
No, no, no. It's just my reflection in the window.
EVELYN: (Sung)
A big garden party
Madras and stripes.
PATRICK: This place is infested with familiar types.
EVELYN:
Some wearing loafers
Some, espadrilles.
PATRICK: Get me a vodka
Pass me the pills.
PATRICK: (Spoken)
At night, I find myself digging up baby crabs under a sky so clear
I can see the entire solar system and sand dunes lit by it seems almost lunar in scale.
EVELYN:
Where should we have dinner tonight, darling? Declavins?
PATRICK: This morning, I microwaved a beach jellyfish and devoured half of it
EVELYN:
No, you're right, I am gaining weight out here.
Well everything's glowing
All is sublime.
At the end of an island
In summertime.
There's only one problem
I'm losing my mind.
At the end of an island
In summertime.
