Judy said, "We're drinking far too much coffee
Wine and cigarettes and we'll never get no sleep"
I first met them at a riverboat party
Both of them were speeding as far as I could see
I lived on the edge of all this indulgence
Taking notes, Lord, and trusting in prudence
Judy said to Jim, "Look at the state we're in"
And the water is cool and we are still friends
ย
Some have said they OD'ed on Leonard Cohen
I see that river every single time I think about them
The water is cool, Lord, the water is so deep and cruel
I was working then on my great unfinished novel
Please let me introduce myself in French Marcel
Okay then, 'til I lost my cool
Now, let me introduce you to the rest of the crew
And it wasn't my style
To find surf in my eye
It was much more my style
To find sand in my eye
ย
Though there is absolutely no truth to be discovered
Albeit true, there is nothing to be found
We academics are not easily discouraged
Lord, you know what? They come three to the pound
Judy said to Jim, "Look at the state we're in"
It was never her intention to conclude anything
And it wasn't my style
To find surf in my eye
It was much more my style
To find sand in my eye
It was just not my style
To find surf in my eye
It was much more my style
To get sand kicked in my eye
Give it to me now
