California Lyrics by Rufus Wainwright

California Lyrics

    california, california
    You're such a wonder that i think i'll stay in bed
    Big time rollers, part time models
    So much to plunder
    That i think i'll sleep instead

    I don't know this sea of neon
    Thousand surfers, whiffs of freon
    And big nights back east with rhoda
    California please

    There's a moment
    I've been saving
    A kind of crucifix around this munchkin land
    Up north freezing, little me drooling
    That's entertainment's on at eight
    Come on ginger slam

    I don't know this sea of neon
    Thousand surfers, whiffs of freon
    And my new grandma bea arthur
    Come on over

    Ain't it a shame that at the top
    Peanut butter and jam they served you
    Ain't it a shame that at the top
    Still those soft skin boys can bruise you
    Yes i fell for a streaker

    I don't know this sea of neon
    Thousand surfers, whiffs of freon

    Ain't it a shame
    That all the world can't enjoy your mad traditions
    Ain't it a shame that all the world
    Don't got keys to their own ignitions
    Life is the longest death in california

    California
    You're such a wonder that i think i'll stay in bed
    So much to plunder that i think i'll sleep instead
    You're such a wonder that i think i'll stay in bed
    So much to plunder that i think i'll sleep instead
