Red House Painters - Strawberry Hill (album version) lyrics

I can hear them Speaking in the next room As they drink and start Losing 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 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 It's our duty As we're respected It's our duty As californians To show him new life 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? Hush up and play the piano 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 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 It's our duty As we're respected It's our duty As californians To show him new life
