Slowtide California song lyrics

When I hear these cheesy odes to california

these songs that every dork can sing along

I wish that I had been to California

to prove these naive fairy-tales as wrong

But I guess my thoughts are born of the frustration

that if I ever find my way down there

I‘d probably build up the same relation

and everything I said wouldn‘t be fair

‘Cause my sun shines through smoking chimneys

I always loved the atmosphere

in the heart of the city

how could somebody like me not like it here?

And if the time comes that you drop the pills in

‘cause you can‘t find the way out of your mind

see, everyone gets sad, even Brian Wilson

‘cause happiness today is hard to find

And everyone around here longs for sunshine

the rain keeps falling all through the year

but to emigrate would probably be the wrong sign

home is where the heart is, my heart‘s here

‘Cause my sun shines through smoking chimneys

I always loved the atmosphere

in the heart of the city

how could somebody like me not like it here?

What can you offer California,

that I don‘t already have here?
