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...
