Woke up crying in the middle of the desert
we were headed for a good time
with mediocre weather
and everything changes
when you least expect it
when you least expect it
well youand'd better not be waiting for it
To get better and'cause it gets worse
unless youand're willing to jump
and throw the whole damn thing
in reverse, alright
and'cause you canand't leave california
out of your mind
iand'm terrified, itand's alright
you know it happens sometimes
in the middle of the night
Well i headed west
to go out where they make the dreams up, and i
got some rest and in my sleep
they put these screens and iand'm feelinand'
empty spaces, with their empty words
and the empty people feeling better
about their empty lives
they donand't feel better,
they just feel worse
and'cause no oneand's willing to jump
and throw the whole damn thing
in reverse, alright
and you canand't leave california
out of your mind
iand'm terrified, itand's alright
it happens sometimes
in the middle of the night
iand'm terrified, itand's okay
you know it happens to everybody,
every day
iand'm terrified
and i canand't leave california
out of my mind
But it might be a good time
to get a little desert skin
to get a little sin,
get a little salvation
get a little lost,
get a little lost
Temptation is the mother of reinvention
as you find yourself saying things
you wouldnand't dare to mention
if you bothered listening,
but you shut your ears
and you stop watching and'fore
the whole thing ends in tears
and youand're getting better,
but you feel worse
And now youand're willing to jump
and throw the whole fuckinand' thing
in reverse, alright
and you canand't leave california
out of your mind
iand'm terrified, itand's alright
it happens sometimes
in the middle of your life
iand'm terrified, itand's okay
you know it happens to everybody,
every day
iand'm terrified
and i canand't leave california
out of my mind
I canand't leave california
out of my mind
i canand't leave california and'till
iand'm out of my mind
well i canand't leave california
but it might be a good time
canand't leave california, but i...
