by 8.30 am the sun was so hot,


but it made me remember.
  A                            H
i pulled on my jacket with the bars on the pockets
      D
and i stood in front of the window
        A                     H
and the skin on my face has a memory all its own
        D                      
and the drinks in the pure heat, real slow.

          A              H             D    
chorus: i remember lima. i remember the good life

the window is ten feet high and three feet wide
A                         H
sun beams bounce off the dark water
    D
and comes through the clear glass, magnified.
         A                    H  
standin' here in the house on pacific coast highway
D                                        A
given to me by a friend whose name is no longer important
H                D
my conscience is clean.
        A                     H   
and the feeling of power like thick red wine
     D
it's o-nine-o-five military time
