Dar Williams - Alleluia Lyrics
Words and music by dar williamsRon and nancy got the house but sid and nancy ruleI died 8 years ago Im still a legend at my high schoolI stole a chevy and I wrapped it round a treeBut thats ok cause no ones gonna make the next centuryIm up in heaven now they say Im here to stayWhere the clouds are really puffy and the angels sing every dayAlleluia alleluia alleluia, wo-oh . . .The cafeterias got everything its gonna drive me madCause it looks just like a big hawaiian party that my mother hadIts like the worst elvis film Ive ever seenTechnicolor luau all on technicolor greenTheres camping trips and donkey rides and singing round the fireAnd they signed me up for surfingBut they cant get me in the choirAlleluia alleluia alleluia, wo-oh . . .But there she was this morning getting fitted for her wingsLeather boots magenta hair and saying nasty thingsId say she was an angel but its stupid and its obviousI said youll hate it here cause were the only ones like usIts crypto-fascist mania its silicon deliriaYeah, she said, youre right, but I like the cafeteria. . . . . . . . . . . .Hey God were the bad kids were so nasty mean and vileGod looks like a guidance counselor gods got that smileGod says, how could this be, thats really oddI guess Ill have to check my records, silly me, you know, Im onlyGod . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .The waves are perfect and the sun will always shineBut theres got to be more to death than surfing all the timeI know the signs of self-destruction so I try to stop each new kidDont be like me, forever young, forever stupidYeah, I found love here but Ill bet youll find it thereWhere they dont always make the same jokeGee you make a heavenly pairAlleluia alleluia alleluia alleluiaAlleluia alleluia alleluia alleluiaAlleluia alleluia alleluiaAlleluia
