Before you let yourself linger
Grow a chip on your shoulder
Before the wolves come knocking
And all the neighbours start talking
Before you’re lost in the blue light
And all the kids are just alright
Like Hera in the garden
And all the fruit has gone rotten
You could lose your mind for a moment
It’s not an easy burden to bare
Maggie look over here
Maybe one day the ground shakes
You know one day everybody’s heart breaks
Though California’s done for
We can see the ocean from our front door
It’s alright to feel broken
There’s still time to start smoking
Every man’s a number
Every woman a stranger
You could lose your mind by the ocean
Bring your buried treasure to bare
Maggie look over here
