The Fate Of California
03:52

|||

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

Marigold
Through the summer
Through the rain
Marigold
Will live forever
Despite the strain
And all tomorrow’s parties
Turning every single other girl away
Other girls
They will flutter
And they will fly
But every single other girl
They will wither
And they will die
And all tomorrow’s parties
Singing far too loud to ever fade
CHORUS:
And I feel you all the time
All the time
I feel you all the time
Come back again
Marigold
Through the summer
Through the rain
My marigold
Will always be there
Just the same
And all tomorrow’s parties
They’ll be waiting, they’ll be waiting

The Harvest

|
Out in the fields
Making a killing
High on your heels
The ones you call home
And you don’t know me
Faces own me
Faces that are black and balmy
The ones that you left alone
CHORUS:
And you don’t want a place to die
Faces want to see me cry
Singing in the daylight, I can’t prophesize
Singing in the night time, I can’t apologize
Come on
And all God’s children
Will wake in silence
The days they sleep in
The nights they creep in
You don’t know me
‘Cause you can’t show me
The way life owns me
Give in, give in, give in, give in, give in

Shaken Down

I don’t know
If we could have a real show
Every day
Everything’s the same way
CHORUS 1:
Shake me down
Nice and slow
Kind of like it always seems to go
I don’t know if you will change
Maybe you are still the same
Blink and bind
If you really want a good time
'Cause every single Sunday
You will have it all ways
CHORUS 2:
Shake me down
Nice and slow
Kind of like I never meant to go
Everyone may sing along
I don’t even know the song
Janie comes again
Washing off her hands
Washing up again
Washing up again
CHORUS 1

Bleak Street

Tear it down
And watch it burn
Hear that sound
’Till your head turn
Sticks and stones may break your bones
But words can really hurt you
I know you will stand alone
’Cause I will soon desert you
CHORUS:
Tear it down
Save it for a rainy day
Watch that sound
Will there be a price to pay?
And I know now
Everything will fade away
And watch it burn
If I could jolt
You back again
You’d stand on your toes
March back and pretend
If everybody went away
And danced along the ocean
I know you would have your day
And be your heart’s devotion
CHORUS

No one’s born in Santa Monica, babe
No one’s born in Hollywood hospital, too
I’ve been here on business, baby
But everybody waits in the queue
No one ever wipes their mouth ’till they’re done
No one ever wears a smile unless they’re gone
Strike it down to business, baby
The road is only gonna see you
CHORUS:
No one ever laughs at the sun
No one ever laughs at the lonely one
No one ever laughs at the sun
But I do
I do
Everybody’s crying like they know the score
Everybody’s crashes through, but they don’t know the door
Strike it down to business, baby
No one’s ever gonna love you
CHORUS
Strike it down to business, baby
Hollywood is waiting for you
