this is my california

Skin tight
Oh won't you see the light
And follow up into the night?
My dream
Comes from the pale light of a bright blue screen

It was old, it was cold
From the song that was sung
And my heart made a noise
Like an oil drum
But everybody's holding me down, ah

And it calls again
Something lifting you out
Of the place that you're in
It's a pain, it's about
Angels
It's a craving not a crime

Could you fall for it
For the ways of the world
It was all that I got
From the falling of a dead
Angel
It's a curse and it's a shame

This is my California
I know it doesn't look like much
This is my way to warn you
That it will never be enough
If you go to California
We will not stay in touch
I've never been to California
And I will keep it as such

But everybody's holding you down, ah
(It's a craving not a crime)

And it's gone again
Something lifting me out of the place that I'm in
Is it tame? Let it out
Cages
It is bursting into life
