I Will Buy You A New Life

Everclear · Return To Santa Monica [2011]

Here is the money that I owe you

Yeah so you can pay the bills

I will give you more

When I get paid again



I hate those people who love to tell you

Money is the root of all that kills

They have never been poor

They have never had the joy of

a welfare Christmas



(yeah) I know we will never look back (yeah)



You say you wake up crying

Yes and you don't know why

You get up and you go lay down inside

My baby's room



Yeah I guess I'm doing okay

I moved in with the strangest guy

Can you believe he actually

Thinks that I am really alive?



I will buy you a garden

Where your flowers can bloom

I will buy you a new car

Perfect shiny and new

I will buy you that big house

Way up in the west hills

I will buy you a new life

(Yes I will)



Yes, I know all about that other guy

The handsome man with athletic thighs

I know about all the times before

with that obsessive little rich boy



They might make you think you're happy

Yeah maybe for a minute or two

They can't make you laugh

No they can't make you feel

The way that I do



I will buy you a garden

Where your flowers can bloom

I will buy you a new car

Perfect shiny and new

I will buy you that big house

Way up in the west hills

I will buy you a new life

Yeah I will buy you a new life



(oh... yeah)

ooo I know we can never look back

(yeah)

(oh)



Will you please let me stay the night

Will you please let me stay the night

No one will ever know



I will buy you a garden

Where your flowers can bloom

I will buy you a new car

Perfect shiny and new

I will buy you that big house

Way up in the west hills

I will buy you a new life



I will buy you a garden

Where your flowers can bloom

I will buy you a new car

Perfect shiny and new

I will buy you that big house

Way up in the west hills

I will buy you a new life

I will buy you a new life
