We were livin' in the hills and trees

Just wheelin' on an easy breeze

When the sky would open up

We'd stop to fill our cups

With harmony

Left the road and the map behind

Started talkin' about a different line

Where we were free

Woke to a bad scene one day

And we felt so far away from home

We started dancing in the street

'Till the Empress stomped her feet and she said, whoa

I'm the Empress of Organos

I'll tell you where your bad thoughts go

You've got the seeds to make them grow

But I've locked them up deep down below

If you think you've got the golden key

It's just darkness playing tricks for me

I'll twist and turn the path you chose

To the shadows of Los Organos

We know you think that you're powerful

But we've got the love and rhythm

You say, looks like rain today

We say, what a day to be livin'

We know you think that you're powerful

But we've got the love and rhythm

You say, looks like rain today

We say, oh what a day to be livin'
