lyrics
Orange Royal Days
and the January moon
give me a dream, make it come true
California.
I tied my ride to the dumpster out back
by the faded wooden rack
Malady's flowers.
Felix and Junior were arguing again
about what was entered into the folder.
Chicken la Orange for me, Arizona tea
tell me did you taste
the Honeybell Oranges.
Keep to myself the plan for a getaway.
I wash my hands in pizza sauce today.
I don't even care,
just take me anywhere.
Federales #1
oh, I can be someone.
Weekends spent wandering wonderful love
to laugh is enough to keep us going.
Every now and then we've been fantasizing
about all the positions we've been in.
Full moon romance brings my senses to life
I'll make you my wife,
mi esposa.
Meet me at the bus stop, we can get away.
I washed my hair, forgot to shave my face.
I don't even care,
just take me anywhere.
Federales #1
oh, I can be someone.
Remember the movie about the rental car?
It's not so far to California.
I'm glad she came for the
Orange Royal Days.
Every lunar phase has its lessons.
Meet me at the bus stop, we can get away.
I wash my hands in pizza sauce today.
I don't even care,
just take me anywhere.
Federales #1
oh, I can be someone.
