"California Nights" lyrics

Ashes on my jacket
A spark in my eyes
Driving like a savage
Down the 405
A rush of adrenaline
Pumping through my veins
Euphoria
By another name

The darker it gets
The brighter it shines
It steals from our souls
And plays with our minds
And it gets me
And it gets me, and it gets me, and it gets me
And it gets me every time

California Nights
Glowing like a flame
In love with the heartless
Addicted to the pain
California Nights
Oh, they're all the same

California Nights
Oh, you get me high
Playing with my heart
While whispering your lies
Crying under stars
California Nights
Let's kiss and say goodbye

See it from a distance
Diamonds on a hill
Beautiful and twisted
But you love it still
When you're dancing with the shadows
Running from the past
Don't know how much longer
This illusion will last

The darker it gets
The brighter it shines
It steals from our souls
And plays with our minds
And it gets me, oh, yeah
And it gets me every time

California Nights
Glowing like a flame
In love with the heartless
Addicted to the pain
California Nights
Oh, they're all the same

California Nights
Oh, you get me high
Playing with my heart
While whispering your lies
Crying under stars
California Nights
Let's kiss and say goodbye

California Nights
Glowing like a flame
In love with the heartless
Addicted to the pain
California Nights
Oh, they're all the same, yeah

California Nights
Oh, you get me high
Playing with my heart
While whispering your lies
Crying under stars
California Nights
Let's kiss and say goodbye
