lyrics

WAIKIKI
Hankewich/Sauer

Oh Waikiki, what’s left for me?
Your buildings dwarf your palm trees.
Pigeons patter on the roof,
America has stolen your truth.

I want to know what’s underneath
This holiday town.
I want to know the air I breathe
Ain’t polluted from the ground.

Well, nature isn’t what it was,
Yet folks like me still are drawn
To fantasies of waters clear
And images on souvenirs.

I want to see a hula girl
Shake it for all she’s got.
I want some authenticity
To justify this stop.

But there’s a little truth
Of which I’m aware.
I took a plane to get me here.
I ain’t no better than the rest,
Just another casualty at best.

Oh so Waikiki, please forgive me.
I’ll try to tread lightly.
It’s just a stopover,
Just a couple of nights.
I’ll be off again on tomorrow’s flight.
