California Cottonfields (Live) - Gram Parsons

I'd like to rest my heavy head tonight On a bed of California stars I'd like to lay my weary bones tonight On a bed of California stars I'd love to feel your hand touching mine Tell me why I must keep working on Yes, I'd give my life to lay my head tonight On a bed of California stars I'd like to dream my troubles all away On a bed of California stars Jump up from my star bed and make another day Underneath my California stars They hang like grapes on vines that shine And warm the lovers glass like friendly wine So, I'd give this world just to dream a dream with you On our bed of California stars I'd like to rest my heavy head tonight On a bed of California stars I'd like to lay my weary bones tonight On a bed of California stars I'd love to feel your hand touching mine Tell me why I must keep working on Yes, I'd give my life to lay my head tonight On a bed of California stars I'd like to dream my troubles all away On a bed of California stars Jump up from my star bed and make another day Underneath my California stars They hang like grapes on vines that shine And warm the lovers glass like a friendly wine So, I'd give this world just to dream a dream with you On our bed of California stars

I remember redwood trees, bumper cars and wolverines The ocean's Trident submarines Lemons, limes and tangerines I remember this I remember traffic jams Motor boys and girls with tans Nearly was and almost rans I remember this History is made History is made to seem unfair I recall that you were there Golden smile and shining hair I recall it wasn't fair Recollect it wasn't fair Remembering it wasn't fair outside Low ebb, high tide The lowest ebb and highest tide A symbol wave I must confide I guess we took us for a ride I guess it's just a gesture I remember this defense Progress fails pacific sense All those sweet conspiracies I remember all these things I remember traffic jams Motor boys and girls with tans Nearly was and almost rans I remember this, this Low ebb, high tide The lowest ebb and highest tide I guess we took us for a ride I guess its just a gesture. At the end of the continent At the edge of the continent

Sur une route noire du désert 'Y avait du vent dans mes cheveux L'odeur des colitas s'est levée comme l'enfer Et puis loin devant moi J'ai vu une lumière toute petite Ma tête est bien lourde Mes yeux se sont foncés Il fallait m'arrêter pour la nuit Elle était là, devant la porte L'heure se sonnait tout précis Et je me pensais Ce devrait être l'enfer ou le paradis Puis elle a frappé du feu une bougie Et l'intérieur s'est illuminé J'ai entendu des voix dans la nuit Qu'est-ce qu'elles disaient? Elles disaient... Bienvenue à l'Hôtel de Californie C'est tellement beau C'est tellement beau 'Y a plein de chambres à l'Hôtel de Californie N'importe quand, on y trouvera certain monde 'Y a des miroirs sur le plafond Et la champagne arrosée Elle a dit: "on est tous que des prisonniers Qu'est-ce qu'on a fait Dans les chambres du maître Ils se sont rassemblés pour la fête Ils attaquent avec des couteaux de fer Mais ils peuvent pas tuer la bête Je me souviens d'une chose encore Je me suis rué vers la porte Il me faillait trouver la route La route qui se finit dehors Mais calme-toi, les sécurités Nous sommes programmés pour dire "bonjour, allez" Vous pouvez dire au revoir quand vous voulez Mais vous ne partirez jamais Bienvenue à l'Hôtel de Californie C'est tellement beau C'est tellement beau 'Y a plein de chambres à l'Hôtel de Californie N'importe quand, on y trouvera certain monde (La, la, la, la, la... la, la, la, la, la) (Ah oui, c'est ça) (Ah oui, monsieur)

There are pyramids in my head There's one underneath my bed And my lady's getting cranky Every possible location Has a simple explanation And it isn't hanky-panky I had read Somewhere in a book They improve all your food and your wine, it said That everything you grow in your garden Would taste pretty fine, instead All I ever get is a pain in the neck And a yap-yap-yap-yap-yap-yap-yap-yap I've consulted all the sages I could find in yellow pages But there aren't many of them And the Mayan panoramas On my pyramid pajamas Haven't helped my little problem I've been told Someone in the know Can be sure that his luck is as good as gold Money in the bank And you don't even pay for it, if you fold A dollar in the shape Of the pyramid that's printed on the back It's no lie You can keep the edge Of a razor as sharp as an eagle's eye You can grow a hedge That is vertically straight over ten feet high All you really need is a pyramid and just a little luck La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-ooh La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-ooh I had read Somewhere in a book They improve all your food and wine And I've been told Someone in the know can be sure of his good luck And it's no lie All you really need is a little bit of pyramidic help
