This song is about U.S. military troops in the Middle East, waiting for targets and passing the time by drinking champagne.
[Verse 1]
I pulled a wire
You put your hand on me
That's what I wanted you for
I don't require a certain potency
Yes and no, it was before
[Verse 2]
Ketchup on your face
The Rams won the race
That's what I tapped you for
Statues they see, what we all could be
Is that what we're really in for?
[Chorus]
Let's share champagne in the sand
Let's share champagne in the sand
[Bridge]
White shirt, black dress in the desert
Couldn't tell you how we're on hour twenty-four
I'm nameless on hour twenty-four
I'm nameless on hour twenty-four
[Verse 3]
You don't get tired
As far as I can see
I've lost my sense of time and demure
I don't require more than you could be
Let's fall back and endure
[Chorus]
Let's share champagne in the sand
Let's share champagne in the sand
[Bridge]
White shirt, black dress in the desert
Couldn't tell you how we're on hour twenty-four
I'm nameless on hour twenty-four
I'm nameless on hour twenty-four
White shirt, black dress in the desert
Couldn't tell you how we're on hour twenty-four
I'm nameless on hour twenty-four
I'm nameless on hour twenty-four
[Chorus]
Let's share champagne in the sand
Let's share champagne in the sand
