this is my california

Skin tight

Oh won't you see the light

And follow up into the night

My dream

Comes from the pale light of a bright blue screen

It was old, it was cold

From the song that was sung

And my heart made a noise

Like an oil drum

But everybody's holding me down

And it calls again

Something lifting you out

Of the place that you're in

Is a pain, it's about

Angels

It's a craving not a crime

Could you fall for it

For the ways of the world

It was all that I got

From the falling of a dead angel

It's a curse and it's a shame

This is my California

I know it doesn't look like much

This is my way to warn you

That it will never be enough

If you go to California

We will not stay in touch

I've never been to California

And I will keep it as such

But everybody's holding you down

And it's gone again

Something lifting me out

Of the place that I'm in

Is it tame, let it out

Cages

It is bursting into life
