Neko Case - In California lyrics

In California I dream of snow
And all the places we used to go
With the night falling down
With the night falling down
Now I'm living in Korea Town
Waking to the sound of car alarms

I remember your face when I
Showed you the ticket
Said you were happy for me
Your heart wasn't in it
Just a phone call away
Now there's nothing to say

As the days roll by, disconnected
In the land where the sun is always shining
I'm crying alone, palm trees they laugh at me
Another fool playing songs that don't matter
For people who chatter endlessly

Another suicide on the 405
The Black Dahlia she smiles and smiles
It's the same old town that bled her dry
One more starlet one more time
Bound to make it do or die
Talk a walk to Bonnie Brae
Try to wash these dreams away
They try to tell me LA
Is beautiful when it rains
