Lotus - The Surf

Awesome Lotus song that needs more exposure! It really bugged me that there wasn't one decent version of this song on youtube.

MP3 from 11/11/10 show in Milwaukee. Googled for pictures/uploaded a few of my own.

Best guess at the lyrics with help from the Lotus forum.. Let me know if you think they are different:

Build my sculptures on a beach
All alone with you out of reach
The surf comes every day
Washes my creations away
Exile on paradise
Everything I need to survive
No one to share the joy
The solitude turns every song to noise

Were in till your out of faith
The only thing to do is create
My daily imagery
With the things that wash up from the sea
Moonlight on my face
The lively dance, north south west and east
They dance towards the ocean waves
Luring me to my Pacific ray

I'm pretty sure The Surf is only played live, but i have a better version from Summer Camp 2011 I might try and post. But def one my fave Lotus songs! It's such an MGMT song but it's got that Lotus soul haha.
