They left paradise--
a boat from a parking lot
It was vintage blue
On the ocean that taxi cab rocked

Don't it always seem, you know
There is always more than one way to go?
They left paradise
A boat from a parking lot

They took all the tires
Turned em into floating tubes
And the cab ran well
Cause it had just gotten a lube

Don't it always seem, you know
There are always Cubans that wanna go
They left paradise
A boat from a parking lot

Late last night
I heard the Coast Guard bell
And the blue vintage taxi
you know they sunk it well

Don't it always seem you know
There is always more than one way to go
They left paradise
I guess they thought it was hell
