"Downey California" by Saint Etienne

Transcribed by Jeremiah Hayes  

dream home
 in downey, california
 palm trees
 the sound of karen carpenter
 mother's holding baby
 baby's getting restless now
 looking for her mother
 looking for her mother
 
 you don't, don't want to believe him now
 don't want to
 don't want to see him
 
 eyes closed
 asleep in a crystal hideaway
 i stand
 they used to take the head away
 if she could tell the story
 frozen on her lips today
 she could tell her daughter
 she could tell her daughter
 
 you want, want to believe him now
 you'll never
 you'll never feel
 
 la-la-la-la-la-la
 
 you want, you want to believe him now
 you'll never see
 see
