"California" lyrics

"California"

It's the blue mist rising
It's the cracked leather seat
It's the blacktop summer
It's the razor-sharp heat
It's the picture plastic perfect Virgin Mary on her knees
It's the crack rock city
It's the people without wings

It's the only place that gets me high
I 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 lines 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 try to numb the sky and blurry the world away

It's the palm trees burning
It's the drip from the sink
It's the cherry chrome psychic with that cellophane sting
It's that liquor store religion when you gotta get the Jinx
It's the roof top open
It's your body on the brink

We choose to run
We're broken like cracks into the ground
Yeah, when you live in the sun
You blurry 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 try to numb the sky and blurry the world away
It's just another day in paradise

There's gotta be
Somewhere
There's gotta be
Something more
To give, to feel alive while we suffer
And blurry the world away
It's just another day of falling hard
It's just another day of counting scars
We've fallen 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 try to numb the sky and blurry the world away
It's just another day in paradise
It's just another day

It's just another day
