California Dreams
(This is what it is, ok
I said empty your mind
Be formless, shapeless-- like water
Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup
You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle
You put it in teapot, it becomes the teapot
Now water can flow or it can crash
Be water my friend)
I took a walk on Venice Beach
I said, "Hello, hello, hello," to the sea
And all the people walked around me
And all their pretty little stories
Were like smoke on a silk screen
California dreams
I fled to the coast
And my shadows followed me
California dreams
Ahead of my ghosts
And now they've pinned me to the sea
I sipped on the blood of Bacchus
In the rolling hills of Napa
Blinded by the diamond tape
For the birds in the wind
In the nape of those mountains, well
They marked my sins
California dreams
I fled to the coast
And my shadows followed me
California dreams
Ahead of my ghosts
And now they've pinned me to the sea
I drove through East of Eden
And dreamed of ruby poppies
But didn't see them
Am I good or bad?
Doomed to be happy or sad?
Oh, why'd I come this far to learn
That these questions have no meaning?
California dreams
I fled to the coast
And my shadows followed me
California dreams
Ahead of my ghosts
And now they've pinned me to the sea
Thought I'd be free
Mmm, free
I'm (like water)
I said empty your mind
Be formless, shapeless-- like water
Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup
You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle
You put it in teapot, it becomes the teapot
Now water can flow or it can crash
Be water my friend)
I took a walk on Venice Beach
I said, "Hello, hello, hello," to the sea
And all the people walked around me
And all their pretty little stories
Were like smoke on a silk screen
California dreams
I fled to the coast
And my shadows followed me
California dreams
Ahead of my ghosts
And now they've pinned me to the sea
I sipped on the blood of Bacchus
In the rolling hills of Napa
Blinded by the diamond tape
For the birds in the wind
In the nape of those mountains, well
They marked my sins
California dreams
I fled to the coast
And my shadows followed me
California dreams
Ahead of my ghosts
And now they've pinned me to the sea
I drove through East of Eden
And dreamed of ruby poppies
But didn't see them
Am I good or bad?
Doomed to be happy or sad?
Oh, why'd I come this far to learn
That these questions have no meaning?
California dreams
I fled to the coast
And my shadows followed me
California dreams
Ahead of my ghosts
And now they've pinned me to the sea
Thought I'd be free
Mmm, free
I'm (like water)
