You're bathing in the sun Your concrete soaks it up Wasting every precious thing that you were ever given You're reaching out to far Sit screaming in your car No matter where you are you feel stranded Gleaming in your reflection Lights up your indiscretions How many times have you swore you'd change Winds shift and the future sways Surfs up for warmer days Can't you see what's all at stake California My Angel City Tell me where did you go so wrong Your skies painted crimson The hills are all burning This can only go for so long Paved away the green This unforgiving scene There's nothing left to clear the air of all this madness I tried to run away And dive into the sea But my neck got pulled back It was tied to your tree So I climbed to the top It was the only air up there left to breathe Moving forward on a line Through space and thought and time Wondering how on earth we ever have made it this far
