John Murry - California (Alternate Version from the Graceless Age Sessions) [Bonus Track] lyrics

Artist: John Murry

album: Califorlornia


I've beaten my brain with benzodiazepines
Mama won't tell ya love is a monstrous thing
The sky's a blue vapor, it's painfully true
I've prayed it would rain drown all my feelings for you
I drove the fire roads at night in a busted up car
I searched the skyline, in vain, for one goddamn star


This city's a dream, but I'm wide awake
Caught up in their lights with nothing to say
My soul has been bled, I don't know for sure
If my heart is breaking, is yours broken too?
I've heard the mission bells ring through the salty breeze
I've seen politicians born on a thousand TV's
There's a knife in every back, one in every hand
And I swear it ain't you, it's California I can't stand

Stand right there with you when the last lamp runs dry
When the last hands been played
When the black banners fly
When the songbirds have all broken their throats
When the fire of St. Joan is nothing but smoke
I've seen the fog rolling in, the flashbulbs throw sparks
We suffer in time, but illumine the dark
There's a knife in every back and one in every hand
And I swear it ain't you, it's California I can't stand
