California Dread

California sun above my head

Let’s start the highway warring

Drop top and girls across the spread

We start to get it going

California sun burns my legs

She starts to love me so

Back light illusion- lover’s red

We start it nice and slow

And I know it’s all in my head

I know California dread

Of everything that I know of California gold-

It will terrorize your soul

Think I better go before I’m old

and keep your words close to me

Think I better call when I get home

Think I better fly the western sky-

three hour flight ‘til I’m alright

Think I better keep it all inside

She drinks the poison everyday

She doesn’t listen to me

I see the words upon her face

She likes to watch me squirming

Red lace a lover’s grin- I’m in

I taste the fake and fortune

Red eye flying from L.A.

I’m going home again

And I know it’s all in my head

I know California dread

Think I better go before I’m old

and keep your words close to me

Think I better call when I get home

Think I better fly the western sky-

three hour flight til I’m alright

Think I better keep it all inside

Think I better keep it all inside

Think I better keep it all inside
