California, You're Killing Me

The mail is stacked up against the wall
The new envelopes are sealed
The papers lie lifeless and damp
And I can't escape

Cause California, you're killing me
You're killing me

The spray around the room
The scent of salt and rubber
I can feel it in my breath
But more so in my heart

You called it stranded
Many, many passing by
The sorrow hangs like the wetsuit in the windowsill
And it's time to come clean

Cause California, you're killing me
You're killing me

The rodents they arrive and the spend time by the fire
The rats they dance, the rats, they drink
There's already been enough said about them there
The ones you love are leaving

And California, you're killing me
You're killing me

It was late when the doorbell rang
It was early too, I'd guess
She thought the officers had news of her son
But to her luck, she wasn't right

They came for vacation, to sit in the sand
To watch the one they love graduate
As they opened the mail, miles away he drank
Cause California's, killin him and

I learned the best things I've ever known from you
I learned the worst things I've ever known from you

I learned the best things I've ever known from you
I learned the worst things I've ever known from you

You're gorgeous, you rock, you roll and you're mine

But California you're, California, you're killing me

You're killing me

You're killing me

You're killing me

You're killing me
