Walk to California

Give me one good reason
Why I shouldn't be getting my suntan on
Well seasoned but you better believe it
I'm not done having my fun
Up all night to prove it
What's the point if you're not going to use it

I'm not tired not sleepy
If you ever wake up come down and see me
Yeah we'll get high
I'm not standing in your line

Le Raconteur, le boulevardier
The extra savoir faire - what can I say
Dead soon so I dress well now
For that long holiday in the clouds
Not like I didn't warn ya
Might just walk to California

Can you tell that my nerves are shot
You know I don't go to sleep
So I'm not getting up
First generation lazy
There's a lot that rhymes
I'm going with crazy
It's not like I didn't warn ya
Said I might just walk to California

First generation lazy flag
That I live under, it's calling to me
Fruit's in the blender mail's returned to sender
Baby that's how I got free
Not like I didn't warn ya
Might just walk to California

AMPLIFIER: Understated irony frequently underscores bittersweet melodies.

ALL MUSIC GUIDE: Bon Mots just may be Chicago's best-kept secret. ... more
