Slow day, streets are on fire
Hey friend, it's been a long while
Back down to the pier last summer
Turn around, go back to California again
She'll still be waiting there for you, California
Where all the people have returned
I guess you'll have to take her word
She'll never turn her back on you
Dead in the water
And now I wish that I had stayed
The stars are never gonna fade
How could I ever face myself again if I let you down?
Firefly trapped in a jar in Tennessee
Avoid the long-distance breakdown
Jump the California faultline
Hey, you're just in time for the rain
Dream, baby, dream
She'll still be waiting there for you, California
Where all the people have returned
I guess you'll have to take her word
She'll never turn her back on you
Dead in the water
And all the wishes that you made
Her stars are never gonna fade
How could I ever face myself again if I let you down?
She'll still be waiting there, California
Where all the people have returned
I guess you'll have to take her word (California)
Like a long lost forgotten road
Wake up now we're going home
Dream, baby, dream
Dream, baby, dream
California
Dream, baby, dream
Hey
