California Songtext
von Paul Conrad

24 and I′m almost over
Wasted when I try to feel sober
Feeling down so you try to get fucked up
You're up but you′re still down on your luck
Met a girl on the 4th of July
Celebrations lasted one night
She OD'd in the back of my car
Turns out she liked to see stars

That's the life of a rockstar, baby
Coming with me, don′t say maybe
Fuck around for a few years later
Buy a house in the ′burbs with neighbours
Four kids sitting happy by the poolside
All the memories tattooed on my mind
Even though this all ends someday
I hope the music never dies


California what a way to die
When the stars are falling and you don't know why
California what a way to die
What a way to die

In the motel, gun to your head
Who the hell is this lying in bed
You blacked out when the sky was still blue
People say what happened to you?
You went away when a new guy moved into your head
Now you′re living in sin
All the girls left draped in the flags
Strung out and high on hashtags

That's the life of a rockstar baby
Coming with me, don′t say maybe
Fuck around for a few years later
Buy a house in the 'burbs with neighbours
Four kids sitting happy by the poolside
All the memories tattooed on my mind
Even though this all ends someday
I hope the music never dies


California what a way to die
When the stars are falling and you don′t know why
California what way to die
What a way to die

What a way to die
What a way to die
What a way to die

California what a way to die
When the stars are falling and you don't know why
California what a way to die
What a way to die

California
California
California
California what a way to die
