California, your sun is burning my eyes
California, no way to reach for your skies
California, your light is making me blind
California, the roads I’m leaving behind
California,
Your heart is beating like a tight drum roll,
All faces dancing, painted in gold
California, and now I enter your dream
California, I find bodies supreme
California, all your women are blonde
California, out here to beyond
California,
Your path is lonely and it’s taking its toll
I see it taking on my wounded soul
California, before it gets too sweet
California, put me back on my feet
California, it’s getting out of control
California, just lo and behold
