California One Youth And Beauty Brigade Lyrics - Castaways And Cutouts - Decemberists

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, of California wine 

Take a long drown with me 

Of California wine, of California wine

And the wine, it tastes so sweet 

As we lay our eyes to wander 

And the sky, it stretches deep 

But 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?

(I've heard of ghosts 

Good ghosts who wander the battlefield at night 

Guiding soldiers out of danger 

You can see their omens everywhere 

Omens warning of stray bullets and lurking enemies 

If I were such a ghost 

I would stay so close to you 

You could feel my breath on your cheek) 

We're calling all bed-wetters and ambulance chasers 

Poor picker-pockets, bring 'em in 

Come join the youth and beauty brigade 

Come join the youth and beauty brigade 

We're lining up the light-loafered and the bored bench warmers 

Castaways and cutouts, fill it up 

Come join the youth and beauty brigade 

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 Multnomah County Library, at the library 

And they said "Son, go join up" 

Go join the youth and beauty brigade 

Come join the youth and beauty brigade 

Come join the youth and beauty brigade 

Come join the youth and beauty brigade 

Nothing will stand in our way
