Rufus Wainwright - California lyrics

California california
You're such a wonder that I
Think I'll stay in bed big time rollers
Part time models so much to plunder that I
Think I'll sleep instead

I don't know this sea of neon
Thousand surfers whiffs of Freon
And big nights back east with Rhoda
California, please

There's a moment i've been saving
A kind of crucifix around this munchkin land
Up North freezing little me drooling
That's Entertainment's on at eight
Come on Ginger, slam

I don't know this sea of neon
Thousand surfers whiffs of freon
And my new grandma Bea Arthur come on over

Ain't it a shame that at the top
Peanut butter and jam they served you
Ain't it a shame that at the top
Still those soft skin boys can bruise you
Yeah, I fell for a streaker

I don't know this sea of neon
Thousand surfers whiffs of freon

Ain't it a shame that all the world
Can't enjoy your mad traditions
Ain't it a shame that all the world
Don't got keys to their own ignitions
Life is the longest death in California

You're such a wonder that I
Think I'll stay in bed
So much to plunder that I
Think I'll sleep instead
You're such a wonder that I
Think I'll stay in bed
So much to plunder that I
Think I'll sleep instead
