California Queen

She liked orchids not roses Sniffing away her two noses Sprouted up from the April Showers A girl born in a bed of flowers I think she's somewhere down south Taking reds running her mouth She bloomed in the month of may But in Cali she wilts away Long live the California Queen Hide in Colorado, never seen Long live the California Dream Cutting youth off at the seams Long live the California Queen She likes to think life's not fair Picking the pills out of the air As she comes running through the dew Hazing the long night through That's the story of the California Queen She fell and blew out her steam Don't know where she went or has been But then I heard neither does her kin Long live the California Queen Hide in Colorado, never seen Long live the California Dream Cutting youth off at the seams Long live the California Queen
