California - Hoist the Colors

Out at the bar she’s the rooms brightest star

And the camera loves her to death

She swears like a sailor the boys try to make her

Don’t know she’s doomed by excess

She said come to the city my God it’s a pity

The distance between me and you

We’ll get lost and get found and we’ll shut down the town

We’ll live in a world built for two

Hold on

The sun also rises its true

Hold on

The sun it will rise just for you

But her days turned to nights

And those nights wouldn’t end

She said I’m strung out I’m struggling

I’m trying she must be she’s tired

And just can’t pretend

And across this great divide

She’s the one in whom I confide

Yeah I’m strung out I’m struggling

I’m trying but trust me this feeling

Something has died

Hold on

The sun also rises its true

Hold on

The sun it will rise just for you

Oh Come to California

Come leave that city behind

That New York sky it’ll eat you alive

Come leave that city behind

Last thing she told me my god it’s so lonely

I’m going away for awhile

She said she’d write me a letter so I won’t forget her

She’s going away for awhile

Oh Come to California

Come leave that city behind

That New York sky it’ll eat you alive

Come leave that city behind
