Once upon her mind She gazed out on a western sky And dreamt of paradise Where she would be fantasized A bunch of broken dreams Where all the opportunities Are laid out in plain sight But not gain without sacrifice Somewhere to dream Somewhere to believe mad prophecies Somewhere to bleed Somewhere to concede to all your fears Oh California Don't pin your hopеs on a sunny days Oh California Tomorrow's [?] on a [?] day And I can't be shaking And it feels you're breaking You can wash your wеight of sins in the ocean tides Oh California My venomous pride (Oh California) She fled out to the hills Where mythic tales of armageddon Now have come to pass Where nothing was built to last We only need somewhere to flee Somewhere to believe in magic Somewhere to see The beauty of San An-tragedy Oh California What lies beneath your golden stage Oh California Your bounty masks your slow decay Oh California You broke my heart in callous ways Oh California You'll spend the sun on the judgement day And it feels like shaking Because the earth is breaking Just wash your weight of sins in the ocean tide Oh California [?] Sublime
