[Verse 1]
I remember redwood trees, bumper cars and wolverines
The ocean's Trident submarines
Lemons, limes and tangerines
I remember this
I remember traffic jams
Motor boys and girls with tans
Nearly was and almost rans
I remember this
[Bridge]
And history is made
History is made to seem unfair
[Verse 2]
I recall that you were there
Golden smile and shining hair
I recall it wasn't fair
Recollect it wasn't fair
Remembering it wasn't fair outside
[Chorus]
Low ebb, high tide
The lowest ebb and highest tide
A symbol wave I must confide
I guess we took us for a ride
I guess it's just a gesture
[Verse 3]
I remember this defense
Progress fails pacific sense
All those sweet conspiracies
I remember all these things
I remember traffic jams
Motor boys and girls with tans
Nearly was and almost rans
I remember this, this
[Chorus]
Low ebb, high tide
The lowest ebb and highest tide
I guess we took us for a ride
I guess it's just a gesture
[Outro]
At the end of the continent
At the edge of a continent
At the end of the continent
At the edge of a continent
