California

Billy doesn’t love me but he keeps good company
he only comes here when there’s no one left to see
but I don’t mind if he comes around
I know the winter gets him down
Billy doesn’t love me but he keeps good company

we can’t afford a ticket but we can always dream
it looks so good you could almost kiss the screen
we’ve seen the blue, we’ve seen the smiles
we can get a map and count the miles
it looks so good you could almost kiss the screen

and when we get there
mmm, what will we find, yeah

all the way to California, we’ll go
all the way to California
why don’t you come with me
and I’ll get you through January
in California
California

why don’t you come and lie down next to me, yeah
if you’re feeling like a river lost in the deep blue sea, yeah
under covers you’re a child
but we’ll be there in a little while
why won’t you come and lie down next to me

and when we get there
what will we find
will we find something
we left behind

all the way to California, we’ll go
all the way to California
why don’t you come with me
and I’ll get you through January
in California

California
California, ha-hah
why don’t you come and lie down?
yeah-yeah
ah-yeah
why don’t you come and lie down?
mmm, [we see it, we see it]
