California One/Youth And Beauty Brigade/Ask Lyrics by Colin Meloy

Colin Meloy Sings Live!

0

Take a long drive with me
On california one, california one
Take a long drive with me
On california one, california one
And the road, a-winding goes
From golden gate to roaring cliff-side
And the light is softly low
As our hearts become sweetly untied
Beneath the sun of california one
Take a long dram with me of california wine
And the wine, it tastes so sweet
As we lay our eyes to wander
And the sky, it stretches deep
Will we rest our heads to slumber
Beneath the vines of california wine?
Beneath the sun of california one?
Annabelle lies, sleeps with quiet eyes
On this sea-drift sun
What can you do?
And if I said
“oh, it’s in your head
On this sea-drift sun,”
What can you do?
We’re calling all bedwetters
And ambulance chasers
Poor picker-pockets, bring them in
Come join the youth and beauty brigade
We’re lining up the light-loafere’d
And the bored bench warmers
Castaways and cutouts, fill it up
Come join the youth and beauty brigade
Nothing will stand in our way
I figured i had paid my debt to society
By paying my overdue fines
At the multnoma county library
At the library they said
“son, go join up
Go join the youth and beauty brigade.”
Nothing will stand in our way
