LYRICS:
California Divorce
In came the goldfish
In the black, black mud
You’re standing in the doorway
In your blue dress
Ain’t gonna be no California divorce
I had a child
I had a son
There go Tiny Lazarus
In a black, black hearse
Way past the freeway
Just shovels and dirt
Ain’t gonna be no California divorce
Ain’t gonna be no California divorce
I had a child
I had a son
