Speedboat - Remastered

Julie said we drink far too much coffee
 Wine and cigarettes and we never get to sleep
 I first met them at a riverboat party
 Both of them were speeding, I would say
 I lived on the edge of all this indulgence
 Taking notes and trusting in prudence
 Julie said to Jim "Why don't we jump in
 While the water is cool and we are still friends?"
 Some say that they odd on Leonard Cohen
 Well I can see that river whenever I think about them
 The river is cruel and the water is deep and blue
 I was working then on my great unfinished novel
 "Please let introduce myself, my name is Ronald"
 I was okay there until I lost my cool
 Now let me introduce you to the rest of the crew
 It wasn't my style to find surf in my eye
 It was much more my style to find sand in my eyes
 Though there is absolutely no truth to be discovered
 Albeit truth there is nothing to be found
 We academics are not easily discouraged
 Lloyd, you know wits, they come three to the pound
 Julie said to Jim "Look at the state we're in"
 It was never her intention to conclude anything
 It wasn't my style to find surf in my eye
 It was much more my style to find sand in my eyes
 It was just not my style to find surf in my eye
 It was much more my style to get sand kicked in my eyes
 Sand in my eyes
