Sam Tucker - California Queen Lyrics

Walk towards the bathroom
Doldrums banging in my head
My friends all crawling after me
And Clinging to my legs
Unhand me brothers Grimm
Don't want to hear your sordid tale
Like the one you told me last night
Drove me way beyond the pail

Forty days and forty nights
With no mornings in between
I pledge allegiance to this life
And my off the kilter queen
Perfectly obtuse
Until misfortune rules the day
And then she's all acute
In the perfect kind of way

Please don't do away with my California Queen
To be back in California well if that won't be the dream
I ripped my Levi's in the garden and I remembered where I'd been
Addicted and lost in the fog of a broken social scene

Spent an evening with miss universe
Not a patch on our miss world
I couldn't help but stand and stare
At lips so rouged and hair so curled
Try so hard as yet I might
There's one I just can't keep away
Even when her souls so dark and twisted
And her clothes begin to fray

So I'll throw myself in sideways
To this complicated dance
And I'll tango with success
If I ever get the chance

Please don't do away with my California Queen
To be back in California well if that won't be the dream
I ripped my Levi's in the garden and I remembered where I'd been
Addicted and lost in the fog of a broken social scene
And she's never gonna change, oh my California Queen
And she's never gonna warn you, about the dark side of the dream
I ripped my Levi's in the garden and I remembered where I'd been
Addicted and lost in the fog of a broken social scene
