Some say a genius, California dreaming in the sun.

He'll never make it. The odds are a gazillion to one.

Overcame adversity and taught the world to sing along.

Then he stayed in bed for three years.

Now the feeling is gone from a beautiful song that's
a permanent part of my head.

When they prop you on stage put a smile on your face
and pretend you're a beach boy again.

Inebriated, Landy made your decisions for you.

Exploited your illness, write a song for a bucket of food.

When I needed inspiration you were always there for me.

Now I have to change the station.

Overcame adversity and taught the world to sing along
in a three part harmony.
