Mom and dad could never reason why

I'd leave the poolside finally and good-bye

They can't understand that it was never meant to be
It used to be fun for me
So I went for a swim until the lake just boiled away
They said to go and find out
How the water feels for treading on
The water's gone
The poolside talk was getting rather old

The wind-chill factor made it freezing cold
The neighbors nosed around
But always short of my arm's reach
I took my car down to the beach
So I went for a swim until the lake just boiled away
They said to go and find out
How the water feels for treading on
The water's gone

I came back from the seashore less and less

Salt water there tastes just as good as fresh

They'll believe me now I won't miss the chlorine eyes
Or their stupid words too the wise
So I went for a swim until the lake just boiled away
They said to go and find out
How the water feels for treading on
The water's fine
