I went down Santa Ana Avenue To the Costa Mesa crew There's electric cool aide Flowing through their veins They've got gigs and a place to play We could practice every single day Down in Nate's garage There's an open door And the girls come in Sit on the floor And I knew this is where I would remain With electric cool aide flowing through my veins It was 1989 Down by the water where the weather's fine I had nothing to do but write some songs to sing We came up with a few to record I guess that some of us got a bit bored And we soon became a rather different band Going from Abbey Road to I wanna hold your hand Traveling in different lanes With electric cool aide flowing through our veins Yeah ♪ Those really were some good old days But I went into another phase I moved out of California just to see If I could make it in another town So I planted my roots in the ground Down in Austin, Texas, I got a new band By the lucky stroke of a magical hand We're still playing And everything's still the same There's electric cool aide flowing through my veins There's electric cool aide flowing through my veins There's electric cool aide flowing through my veins
