Hawaii Lyrics - Strokes

Whether you're in L.A., sunny laid back L.A 

Whether you're in New York, comfort 'round your block 

Whether you're in the U.K., where the sky is dark 

And the grass is kinda green, you know like Central Park 

Still my favorite place in this whole wide world 

Has got to be in the middle of the ocean floor 

I see you poking out of the ocean, paradise on Earth 

The 50th state, what? Hawaii 

I wanna live in somewhere different 

A nuclear distaster might be on our way 

But I don't care, I'm in the U.S.A 

Whether you're drunk or stoned or we're sober and old 

If I'm with you, I'm a happy man 

If you feel safe and cold while you count your gold 

If your problem is you can't find your remote control 

Still my favorite person in this whole wide world 

Is the woman who can understand every word 

And when she speaks to me, she makes me 

See the whole world as my favorite place, Hawaii 

We got it made, yes, I know 

Can we go by plane or boat? 

Whether you take it slow or you let me go 

Whether you tell me something that I did not know 

Whether you're neat and polite or you scream and fight 

Whether you keep something from me that I wouldn't like 

Still my favorite attitude in this world so far 

Is the friendly spirit of an iron heart 

Like the way folks are in this most special place 

I don't care what happens, I'm taking a plane to 

Hawaii, Hawaii, Hawaii, Hawaii, Hawaii, Hawaii 

Hawaii, Hawaii, Kauai or Oahu 

Molokai or Lanai, Maui and the big guy 

A.k.a. Hawaii, Hawaii, Hawaii, Hawaii, ooh, ooh 

All I want to do is something different 

Oh, let me in, cut off from Malaysia 

Back in who knows when, oh, we got kinda lost 

But my God, what a place, I profess 

Airforce jets cannot take away my soul
