[Intro]
Yeah, Miami, baby
Alright
Uh-huh
Oh yeah, Miami, baby
Alright
[Verse 1]
Oh, we're in Miami, baby, we're shakin' and lazy
We're ridin' up in the clouds tonight
And we dive to the bottom of the ocean
I wear a yellow submarine that rolls us deep into the night
Oh, I'm sick in the head, I haven't been to bed
'Cause that little kid came and took me away
Oh, she got them honey bones and she's meltin' me down
As she moves across the floor, my heart falls heavy to the ground, baby
[Chorus]
They only believе me when I'm tellin' liеs
When I'm tellin' lies (Yeah, Miami, baby)
They're lookin' at me like it's Tuesday with their Friday eyes
Yeah, their Friday eyes (Uh-uh)
They only believe me when I'm tellin' lies (Alright)
When I'm tellin' lies (Yeah, Miami, baby)
They're lookin' at me like it's Tuesday with their Friday eyes (Alright, alright)
Yeah, their Friday eyes
[Verse 2]
Yeah, we hit the beach with a cool carton of cold ones
And we're rollin' with our friend Mary Jane
I look over and I see it groovin'
To the tunes as you lower your shades
I love the way you move, my little gun-slingin' girl
I love the way you're proper funkin' on my world
I see the palm trees swayin' back and forth
I got that lovesick thing rollin' 'round my brain, baby
[Chorus]
They only believe me when I'm tellin' lies
When I'm tellin' lies (Yeah, Miami, baby)
They're lookin' at me like it's Tuesday with their Friday eyes
Yeah, their Friday eyes (Uh-huh)
They only believe me when I'm tellin' lies (Alright)
When I'm tellin' lies (Yeah, Miami, baby)
They're lookin' at me like it's Tuesday with their Friday eyes (Alright, alright)
Yeah, their Friday eyes
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
They only believe me when I'm tellin' lies
When I'm tellin' lies (Yeah, Miami, baby)
They're lookin' at me like it's Tuesday with their Friday eyes
Yeah, their Friday eyes (Uh-huh)
They only believe me when I'm tellin' lies (Alright)
When I'm tellin' lies (Yeah, Miami, baby)
They're lookin' at me like it's Tuesday with their Friday eyes (Alright, alright)
Yeah, their Friday eyes

We came up with this concept when we were up late, kicking back some whisky in the studio at Sugarcane Mountain. It’s cool when the riff can be the catalyst for the whole song and it all just follows, the river flows downstream nicely. I wanted to imagine this story as someone who’d been locked up,...
