Bellevue Cadillac Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you're gonna go crazy, might as well do it in style
Yeah, if you're gonna go crazy, might as well do it in style
Hop in the Bellevue Caddy, let's drive for a while
Put a bar in your car and drive yourself to drink
Put a bar in your car and drive yourself to drink
Just 12 steps away from a AAA rated drink

So relax

You're the Prozac generation, so relax, relax
(Relax, relax)
C'mon, relax
We got your reservations, so relax, relax
(Relax, relax)
You better relax (whoo)
Take your medication and get in the mood

You don't have to drink; you don't have to think
Wave your hand in front of your face, and you won't even blink

It's got all the bells and whistles, power doors and power locks
Yeah, this baby loaded, power doors and power locks
(Go across the street, get some money)
So move down life's bumpy highways with (???) electric shocks
With divine intervention, you won't be coming back
With divine intervention, you won't be coming back
All the streets run only one way in the Bellevue Cadillac
Yeah, yeah

So relax
You're the Prozac generation, so relax, relax
(Relax, relax)
And relax
We got your reservations, so relax, relax
(Relax, relax)
C'mon relax (whoo)
Take your medication and get in the mood
C'mon relax
You're the Prozac nation, so relax, relax
(Relax, relax)
You gotta relax
We got your reservations, so relax, relax
(Relax, relax)
Please relax (whoo)
Take your medication and get in the mood
Relax!
Relax!
Relax!
Relax!
Relax!
In the mood!

Relax
You're the Prozac generation, so relax, relax
You gotta relax
We got your reservations, so relax, relax
C'mon relax

Take your medication and get in the mood
Yeah, yeah!
