Tara, tara Tara (tara) Tara (tara) Tara (tara) Tara (tara) Tara (tara) Tara (tara) I heard the radio song It was a day like the beach I was lost and in love I was sand in the surf I heard talk Talk like music I heard talk It was a day like a beach (Tara) No cult (tara) No revision (tara) I was saying (tara) At the curb (tara) I was swaying (tara) I was wave-washed (tara) Wave-washed, knocked down I heard the radio song It was a day like the beach I was lost and in love I was sand in the surf I heard talk Talk like music I heard talk It was a day like a beach, swim
