California

It's the blue mist rising It's the cracked leather seat It's the black top summer It's the razor sharp heat It's the picture plastic perfect Virgin Mary on her knees It's the cracked rock city It's the people without wings It's the only place that gets me high I've seen the sun come up a thousand times Got you begging me to end it but I just can't stop Got me staring at the lights until they drop It's just another day in paradise It's just another day in California Been getting used to living on the edge of life We're driving on the sky and burning the world away It's the palm trees burning It's that drip from the sink It's the cherry chrome sidekick With that cellophane sting It's that liquor store religion When you gotta get the drinks It's the rooftop open It's your body on the brink We choose the road We're broken like cracks into the ground, yeah When you live in the sun You're burning the world to get away It's just another day in paradise It's just another day in California Been getting used to living on the edge of life We're driving on the sky and burning the world away (It's just another day in paradise) There's gonna be (Someone) There's gonna be (Something I know) To give, to feel, and learn while we suffer (And bury the world away) It's just another day of falling hard It's just another day of counting scars We're falling apart It's just another day in paradise It's just another day in California Been getting used to living on the edge of life We're driving on the sky and burning the world away (It's just another day in paradise) (It's just another day)
