"Going To Malibu" lyrics - THE MOUNTAIN GOATS

When we meet on neutral ground
I can't believe how good you look
And the thoughts that race around my mind
Fill a long unreadable book and

[Chorus 1:]
I can hear the waves
I can sense the continent eroding
You say you know why I called you here
But you couldn't have any way of knowing, so
That's not true
That's a mean thing to say
That's a damnable lie
That's a damnable lie

Looking at you, and I don't know
What it is I see
But I know you're changing, almost indetectably

[Chorus 2:]
And I see a ship off the shore
And I imagine it sinking
And you smile and you say that you know
What it is that I'm thinking
That's not true
That's a rotten thing to say
That's a damnable lie
That's a damnable lie
