Lyrics Red House Painters

Red House Painters

Strawberry Hill

I can hear them

Speakin' in the next room

As they drink and start losin' control and get louder

They lose control and get louder

They wonder about me

I can hear her twirling the ice with her fingers

She's got that half-dead look in her eyes by now

She worries about me

He's not like the

The other boys around here

He's says nothing and sits in his room

And he's afraid to

And he's afraid to drive a car

So sad he is

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 a new life

To show a new life

Ever since my staying I

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 are 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 though your diary

And the secrets you've been keeping

We're already aware of

And I pretended [Incomprehensible]

Have a drink and talk this over

And in the meantime, please

Think of the good things that we've done for you

It's our duty and we're expected

It's our duty as Californians

To show a new life

To show a new life

It's our duty and we're expected

It's our duty as Californians

To show a new life

To show a new life
