Colin Meloy - California One/Youth And The Beauty Brigade/Ask

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
