Surf's Up Lyrics - Brian Wilson

A diamond necklace played the pawn. 

Hand in hand, some drummed along 

To a handsome mannered baton. 

A blind class aristocracy. 

Back through the opera glass you see 

The pit and the pendulum drawn. 

Columnated ruins domino! 

Canvas the town and brush the back-drop. 

Are you sleeping? 

Hung velvet over taking me. 

Dim chandelier awaken me. 

To a song dissolved in the dawn. 

The music hall, a costly bow. 

The must all is lost for now, 

To a muted trumpeter swan.

Columnated ruins domino! 

Canvas the town and brush the back-drop. 

Are you sleeping? Brother John? 

Dove nested towers, 

The hour was strike the street, quicksilver moon. 

Carriage across the fog-two-step to 

Lampight cellar tune. 

The laughs come hard 

In Auld Lang Syne. 

The glass was raised, the fired-roast. 

The fullness of the wine. 

A dim last toasting. 

While at Port, adieu or die. 

A choke of grief, heart-hardened eye, 

Beyond belief, a broken man too tough to cry. 

Surf's Up! Aboard a tidal wave. 

Come about hard and join the young 

And often spring you gave.

I heard the word. 

Wonderful thing! 

A children's song. 

A children's song, have you listened as they play? 

Their song is love and the children know the way.
