Lyrics

Smoky room and a thin blue light Her arms were pale as white Trying to outlast the night Howling at the moon Living in the Canyon Inn Hang-down henna and whiskey gin Dirty jeans and mudslide hymns It all began with sum So adios to California Nothing to do but turn around I always thought there's someone coming for you Only way you'd leave this town Pasadena in the rain Eating donuts and reading Twain How much longer can my brain Set itself on fire? You said that's it for me Have a little faith, it might set you free But your faith's no good, you see For me and my desire So adios to California Nothing to do but turn around I always thought there's someone coming for you Only way you'd leave this town Two cigarettes from a package gone Must have thought about it just that long I never knew you were so strong I guess I never will So adios to California Nothing to do but turn around I always thought there's someone coming for you Only way you'd leave this town Only way you'd leave this town
