On the esplanade saw you standin’ there
In the morning breeze saw your coal black hair
I got the nerve and I prayed to God
And there we were on the esplanade
On the esplanade Johnny bought a tattoo
Harley Davison and a mom one too
When the cops came down it changed all the odds
And there we were on the esplanade
When you fall you just can’t help it
Fallin’ in love is scarier oh yeah
Trapeze artist tightrope walker
Fallin’ in love there ain’t no net
Fallin’ in love there ain’t no net
Fallin’ in love there ain’t no net
On the esplanade governor had his day
Dancin’ with the mayor the voters walked away
When the sun cooled down the band got hot
And there we were on the esplanade
