A man named gene's got a beautiful voice He carries me home on his beautiful horse And where she waits, i will ride ride ride Come on 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 sweet dreams, and color and sound Highways in the faraway to be found I saw 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 And 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 But when the stars in the sky start fallin 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 For something to give Yeah i'm waiting...
