Fox Stevenson - California Lyrics

Step off the plane and the first thing that I hear
"Welcome to California"
I'm doing my best just to try not to disappear
And no one is gonna do that for ya
I've got pale white skin and a point I've got to prove (got to prove)
And I hear that's easy if you got the money (got the money)
Now they tell me I'm done but I'm only 22 (22)
Yeah, California is kinda funny

Either I can do better
Or I'm just fooling myself
I never say never
'Cause I'm just fooling myself
Either I can do better
Or I'm just fooling myself
I never say never
'Cause I'm just fooling myself
Welcome to California

I'm setting up shop, doing what I gotta do to live
And I've been inhaling that super freeway (super freeway)
27 months with a hunger that I just can't shift (just can't shift)
That hunger is pretty common these days

We all wanna be rich and famous and powerful
These are snowman's dreams and they're beautiful
We need those fast cars, Hollywood stars
We'll split the difference and make it all ours
Welcome to California

Either I can do better
Or I'm just fooling myself
I never say never
'Cause I'm just fooling myself
Either I can do better
Or I'm just fooling myself
I never say never
'Cause I'm just fooling myself
Welcome to California
You know I don't know what I'm doing

She says she came here just to get away from god
She says, "I need you to tell me something"
"How can I stay when I'm always falling off?"
She takes a sip and says she hopes she's dead by morning
And she jumps up on the table, says she's over it
And she screams, "I'm gonna be Marilyn Monroe"
For a place that got so famous for it's glamour and it's sunshine
I'm still surprised by all the snow

We all wanna be rich and famous and powerful
Do these snowman's dreams make us beautiful?
We need those fast cars, Hollywood stars
We'll split the difference and make it all ours
Welcome to California

Either I can do better
Or I'm just fooling myself
I never say never
'Cause I'm just fooling myself
Either I can do better
Or I'm just fooling myself
I never say never
'Cause I'm just fooling myself
Welcome to California
Welcome to California
