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...
