Me and Mean Gene's got a beautiful voice
He carries me home on his beautiful horse
Where she waits, I will ride ride ride
C'mon stranger just sing me a song
And if it's sad, I'll sing along long long
I told you I knew every word
When I get to California,
Gonna write my name in the sand
I'm gonna lay this body down
And watch the waves roll in
And when the city spreads out
Just like a cut vein
Everybody drowns, sad and lonely
Well everybody drowns, sad and lonely
Well everybody drowns, sad and lonely, alright
Sweet dreams and color and sound
Highways in the fog waiting to be found
I'll start gold mines in the sky sky sky
They were clouds just waiting to cry
And with the wind
I'm dancing drift drift drift
In the shapes of the place that I miss
When I get to California,
Gonna write my name in the sand
I'm gonna lay this body down
And watch the waves roll in
I'm gonna rest this weary head
On someone who I think will care
When the stars and the sky start falling
I think you'll understand
That the city spreads out
Just like a cut vein
Everybody drowns, sad and lonely
Well everybody drowns, sad and lonely
Well everybody drowns, sad and lonely, alright
Yeah I'm waiting for something to give
Well I'm waiting, I hope it's not me
Yeah I'm waiting
