Raine Maida - Careful What You Wish For Lyrics

Oh no mom
Look what Ive done
Im on the run
IVe gone to California
I kissed you goodbye
with a tear in my eye
I packed up my truck and went for a drive

These white yellow lines
These angel filled skies
The road might be long
But its my road tonight

Its a Leonard Cohen song
A buddah or a Monk
You can be anything you want
I'm an Italian Catholic punk and Im on my way
On my way
Oh la la lo, I'm on my way

The ocean appears
the wind slaps my face
Oh, Shangri-La
What a beautiful place
Im nervous but steady
Im scared but Im ready
No turning back
3000 miles in a Chevy
I slam on the brakes
put my toes in the sand
look to the constellations
and i throw up my hands

I said, God be my driver
God, be my light
Nobody ages, I guess nobody dies here

I'll be careful what I wish for in this life
cause I know, Ill miss yesterday
Ill come back to you before im old and grey
ill come home
ill be back again

The sky turned red
the ocean pulled away
what the hell is going on
How come no ones agraid?
I said hey Mr.Soul
what you got for me
I pulled out my wallet
I know nothing is free

I said to God do you back this
This town is a black list
oh boy what a big mess
Even Mickey's on acid.

Im willing and able
my cards on this fable
Come on, Alice... we're too good to wait tables

I'll be careful what I wish for in this life
cause I know, Ill miss yesterday
Ill come back to you before im old and grey
ill come home... I'll be back again
ill be back again
Back again

Oooh
back again
oooooh
oooooh
oh

Oh no mom what have I done?
What have I done?
I went to California
I'm gunna leave California...
