The Mountain Goats — California Jam

[Spoken intro] Here we go. The uh, California Jam One two three and [Verse 1] Helicopter in from Los Angeles Land in Ontario There's guys with cameras "Hey you Can I get a quick interview?" Beat-up stretch limousine to the speedway In the baking sun Stay high all day Take to the stage Lords of the age [Chorus] Drums rolling like buffalo down the plain And I am an oncoming train Me and the ghosts of Birmingham Me and the ghosts of Birmingham [Verse 2] Light rigging overhead, rainbow behind And the cloudless sky And the infinite distances in my mind Arms in the air Sun in my hair Rise like dancers, stick the landing Feel kind of beautiful Everybody here is beautiful That's just how I feel And it's real [Chorus] Drums rolling like buffalo down the plain And I am an oncoming train Me and the ghosts of Birmingham Me and the ghosts of Birmingham
