lyrics

I know what you’re thinking
Everything’s a mess of what we’ve done
And I know you’ve been drinking
Singing hallelujah ‘till you’re gone

The caravan is crazy
But everybody knows which way to go
And I know that you’re lazy
Everybody else has told me so

CHORUS 1:
And I, I see you waiting in the kitchen
Screaming out your daddy’s name
Mama knows it’s all the same this time
And I know your dreams are never, ever wishing
For the fate of California is slowly going crazy in your eyes
Goodbye

If everybody wants to
We’ll gather in the woods at half past dawn
We’ll make a mess of all this
Screaming hallelujah at the sun

The caravan is crazy
But everybody knows he had to die
And the information’s hazy
But this is where the body’s meant to lie

CHORUS 2:
And I, I see you standing in the hallway
Saying everybody loves you
But nobody just loves you how you are
And I know your dreams are waiting in the doorway
For the fate of California is slowly, slowly dying in your arms
Goodbye
