[Verse 1]
I can hear them
Speaking in the next room
As they drink and start
Losing control and get louder
They lose control and get louder
They wonder about me
I can hear her
Twirling the ice with her finger
She's got that
Half dead look in her eyes by now
She worries about me
[Verse 2]
He's not like the other boys
Around here
He says nothing and sits in his
Room and he's afraid to
And he's afraid to drive a car
So sad he is
[Hook]
It's our duty
As we're respected
It's our duty
As Californians
To show him new life
[Verse 3]
Ever since my staying I've been
Having bad dreams
So stop eating cabbage and stop
Talking to that girl
What are the winters like here?
[Break]
Hush up and play the piano
[Verse 4]
But have I told you how I love her?
Yes but you're Aquarius
And she is Capricorn
Come come now and meet
Your cousins from L.A
Shut up and leave me alone
[Verse 5]
We know who you are
I read your palm while you
Were sleeping
And I read through your diary
And the secrets you've been keeping
We were already aware of
And now for dinner and maybe
Tomorrow we'll have a drink
And talk this over
And in the meantime please
Think of the good things
We've done for you
[Hook]
