Alleluia
(专辑: The Honesty Room - 1993)
Words and music by dar williams Ron and Nancy got the
house but Sid and Nancy rule I
died eight years ago, I'm still a
legend at my high school I
stole a
Chevy and I
wrapped it 'round a
tree But that's OK cause no one's gonna make the
next century I'm up in heaven now they say I'm here to stay Where the
clouds are really puffy and the
angels sing every day Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, wo-oh... The
cafeteria's got everything it's gonna drive you mad 'Cause it looks just like a
big Hawaiian party that my mother had It's like the
worst Elvis film I've ever seen Technicolor luau all on technicolor green There's camping trips and donkey rides and singing round the
fire And they signed me up for surfing But they can't get me in the
choir Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, wo-oh... But there she was this morning getting fitted for her wings Leather boots, magenta hair, and saying nasty things I'd say she was an angel but it's stupid and it's obvious I
said "you'll hate it here cause we're the
only ones like us" It's crypto-fascist mania it's silicon deliria "Yeah," she said, "you're right, but I
like the
cafeteria" Hey God, we're the
bad kids, we're so nasty mean and vile God looks like a
guidance counselor, God's got that smile God says, "How could this be, that's really odd I
guess I'll have to check my records, silly me, you know, I'm only God." The
waves are perfect and the
sun will always shine But there's got to be more to death than surfing all the
time I
know the
signs of self-destruction so I
try to stop each new kid Don't be like me, forever young, forever stupid Yeah, I
found love here but I'll bet you'll find it there Where they don't always make the
same joke Gee you make a
heavenly pair Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
