Said goodbye to the redwoods And I took to that ribbon of highway Took up the high-speed chase Rolled across paradise lost from The Castro to South Central Hell A Seeking a state of grace And though I've found people love putting you down Or putting down people proclaiming their love for you I'd fall into the ocean blue Fall into the ocean for you, California Mysto breaks and moonscape lakes I know your terrible beauty Makes for your sex appeal Wildfire sunsets this lurid Stealth jets shooting surfing cowgirls It must be the final reel And though I've found all the sun pouring down Don't shed any light on what I am here to do I'd fall into the ocean blue Fall into the ocean for you, California As for the sprawl and all us shallow fools Our crystal cathedrals, our backyard swimming pools Our day is coming, so they say The earth will move, the sea, wash us all away And I'll fall into the ocean, too Fall into the ocean with you, California

Golden Hour 03:06
The day's getting on now, I can't deny Our shadows grown long, wind on the rye Ain't come to much, but humbled am I Here in your presence, under this sky I'd do anything in my power Just to hold you in this golden hour Coming on sunset, you squeeze my hand Such staggering beauty, I can't withstand I'd do anything in my power Just to hold you in this golden hour With your hair down And your wind-burnt face aglow You'll sigh and throw your head back And my heart will overflow Way up on Big Sur, ocean below The condor above will one day swing low But I'll do anything in my power Just to hold you in this golden hour

Well I've got no clue what makes you tick When you talk it's so phantasmagorical Dreams colliding inside of your head Spilling out of your wildflower bed I follow you down to the brook today Knowing I long ago lost my way And I'm crazy till you're crazy dear You slip into the forest and disappear Ophelia, you were right It's the world that's mad, you are precious light Ophelia, fool am I To have sent you reeling off into the night We are combustible, you touch Something so deep, I think too much Won't you come back, baby, please Your beautiful mind...I'm on my knees Ophelia, on my life It's the world that's mad, you are precious bright Ophelia, come tonight We could dance like lunatics in pale moonlight Ophelia, on my life You're more phantasmagorical than you've a right

Made for You 03:29
I was made for you In my heart I know Where you are or who I need some help with though I have paid in blue Searching and somehow Just the thought of you Is all I cling to now And I know it's late For a twist of fate For a leap of faith But I was made for you If there's one thing I know Where you are or who I need some help with though
5.
Headstrong 03:26
Here we are huddled in the dark And it was gonna be our day All that we worked so hard to build together All that swept away Overcome, reeling, numb I say baby, maybe, this ain't meant to be And she says Come on dance with me Between the devil and deep blue sea The time will never be right for us And never be wrong Our lovin' is headstrong Morning breaks, we don't catch a one The sun has barely come up when We get news, now she's gotta leave Now she's been called up again Ashen, she turns and we Wrap our arms around each other We don't say a thing...we sing Come on dance with me Between the devil and deep blue sea The time will never be right for us And never be wrong Our lovin' is headstrong

What just went down, where is the sun? Our star-crossed love's come undone What was for eternity Is just a blinding memory First the sky went green And reflected in his eyes I saw the ghost in the machine Then it happened, he was gone We were standing on the sidewalk There were people looking on When an otherworldly force Blew us into parallel worlds Though I played a part of course Crashing to earth on Half Moon Drive Who am I, what have I survived? Where have I been for all of these years? All I recall beyond the tears Is the sky went green And I looked into his eyes And saw the ghost in the machine Then it happened, we were gone He was standing on the sidewalk There were people looking on When an otherworldly force Blew us into parallel worlds Though I played my part of course And all at once, the memories Come rushing back The frozen years, his glowing eyes That fade to black Then it happens, then he's gone And I'm standing on this sidewalk With these people looking on With my otherworldly force Gone onto a parallel world Though I played a part of course
7.
I never said so many things If I'd have thought ahead Yours would not be So bewildering a memory I search the same night skies We'd wish upon Regretting not what I'd wished Just never letting on But you must know I cannot say what it's cost me That you've gone away Or where you've gone Or how exactly I'll go on now There's not a soul on Earth There'll never be With any inkling What you mean to me But you must know

Maybe I'll take the coast road home (Whistling as I go) Maybe I'll wake tonight (Groping in the dark) Gliding down phosphorescing waves (With the sea aglow) Epiphanic and bright (Till there comes a spark) California dawn I got so much riding on California dawn I got so much riding Maybe I'll wake before too long (Maybe finally know) Maybe break through tonight (Tripping in the dark) Deep into trance on some moonlit dry lake (There comes a glow) When there comes a light (When there comes a spark) (How can you bear it?) California dawn (How I could scream) We got so much riding on (What this state?) California dawn (Is this a dream?) Everybody's riding Maybe I'll take the old road home (Whistling as I go) Maybe I'll go tonight (Groping in the dark) Talking in vanished tongues, in Esselen (Murmuring low) Walking into the light (Will I leave a mark?) (How can you bear it?) California dawn (How I could scream) We got so much riding on (What this state?) California dawn (Is this a dream?) We got so much riding (How can you bear it?) California dawn (How I could scream) Everybody's riding on (Everybody's riding)
