KALIFORNEA

OUR SECRET TWIST OF FATE CAME FAR TOO QUICKLY
A SILENCE THAT IS SURELY HURT WITH ENVY
IS DESPERATELY LOADED
IN A LOVER’S GUN

A FUTURE THAT WAS HOPEFUL
IS BUT NOW A QUIET CONVERSATION WITH A PICTURE
AND THESE MEMORIES ARE BURNIN’
BY A BIG HOT SUN

IMAGINATION IS DECEIVING
YOU’LL NEVER UNDERSTAND MY TRUE BEFIEF IN THE
LOVER’S WORDS OF PASSION
“YOU REALLY WERE THE ONE”

BUT IT’S A JEALOUS KALIFORNEA IN THE WINTER
THE DAYS WILL BARELY WARM YA
AND THE NIGHTS ARE ALWAYS SO MUCH COLDER
DESPITE THE DESERT SUN

I NEVER NEEDED ANYTHING BUT
BUT ALL YOUR LOVE
YOU WERE MY HEART
MY TRUE CONVICTION
SENT FROM GOD ABOVE
I NEED TO HEAR YOU SAY YOU LOVE ME
YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND
THAT JEALOUSY IS LOVE’S AFFLICTION
IT’S WHAT MAKES ME A MAN

BLINDED BY A VISION
IS WHAT MAKE’S LOVERS LAST DECISION
IF IT TAKES TO KEEP MY LOVE FROM LEAVING
KALIFORNEUM

SO REST YOUR HEAD MY DEAR, NOW THAT IT’S OVER
THE SANDS OF KALIFORNEA WILL ALWAYS WARM YA
THE NIGHTS ARE NEVER COLD THERE
IN THE DESERT SUN
