Dar Williams - Alleluia lyrics

rate me

Words and music by dar williams

Ron and nancy got the house but sid and nancy rule

I died 8 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 alleluiawo-oh . . .

The cafeteria's got everything it's gonna drive me 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 alleluiawo-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

Yeahshe saidyou're rightbut 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 sayshow could this bethat's really odd

I guess I'll have to check my recordssilly meyou knowI'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 meforever youngforever stupid

YeahI 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

Alleluia alleluia alleluia

Alleluia
