Alleluia — текст песни (Dar Williams)

Words and music by dar williams



Ron and nancy got the house but sid and nancy rule

I died 8 years ago Im still a legend at my high school

I stole a chevy and I wrapped it round a tree

But thats ok cause no ones gonna make the next century

Im up in heaven now they say Im here to stay

Where the clouds are really puffy and the angels sing every day

Alleluia alleluia alleluia, wo-oh . . .



The cafeterias got everything its gonna drive me mad

Cause it looks just like a big hawaiian party that my mother had

Its like the worst elvis film Ive ever seen

Technicolor luau all on technicolor green

Theres camping trips and donkey rides and singing round the fire

And they signed me up for surfing

But they cant 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

Id say she was an angel but its stupid and its obvious

I said youll hate it here cause were the only ones like us

Its crypto-fascist mania its silicon deliria

Yeah, she said, youre right, but I like the cafeteria

. . . . . . . . . . . .



Hey God were the bad kids were so nasty mean and vile

God looks like a guidance counselor gods got that smile

God says, how could this be, thats really odd

I guess Ill have to check my records, silly me, you know, Im only

God . . .

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .



The waves are perfect and the sun will always shine

But theres 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

Dont be like me, forever young, forever stupid

Yeah, I found love here but Ill bet youll find it there

Where they dont always make the same joke

Gee you make a heavenly pair

Alleluia alleluia alleluia alleluia

Alleluia alleluia alleluia alleluia

Alleluia alleluia alleluia

Alleluia
