Leaves are brown
Sky is grey
And I'm a thousand miles away
I'd be safe
I'd be warm
My head changes everyday
I'm not dreaming
This is real to me
Take me back this fuckin' city
Take me back to the sunshine state
Leaving town was a mistake
I'm always sick of home
I'm always home sick
Paycheck to paycheck
Just to pay the rent
My soul is parched
The coast soothes my thirst
I'm a slave to this curse, it's getting worse
California, California cursed
I was born here
And I'll die here
Until that day, this is where I'll be
This state has swallowed me whole
Suck me down and set me free
California, California cursed
