California's Burning

California's burning, burning, burning to the ground

And my head is turning, turning, turning round and round

Alie's stomach's churning, churning, like a storm today

And your mother's crying, crying, closing up the safe

And I'm here, wondering where the sun has gone

Driving through New Mexico

Asking why there's no one home

Encinitas likes to miss me, like nobody's child

And my eyes like rainy Tuesdays, like to watch you smile

And I'm here, wondering where the sun has gone

Driving through a Midwest storm

Asking why there's no one home
