Welcome to the streets of dreams, city of angels
Town full of plastic devils, and surgically altered halos
Don't get lost in the dead of the night
End up missing, or distraught under Boulevard lights
It's a life that you probably wouldn't wanna flaunt
Came for a reason, didn't stay for it though
It's a miracle to make it at all
Found these streets are dirty, thought they were all paved in gold
Now you know that you're far from home
Realize you're unprepared, don't know where to go
Swallowed up with the sheep, all the fools for gold
It's a joke that you thought that this world was warm
There's no warmth in the cold heart of all of these wolves
You sheep are just a meal, a means for fuel
That fuels the need for more, the machine just gets bigger
Chews you up and spits you out, bathes you in liquor
Life is cold up on my coast, gotta go where the sun goes
Everyone with a dream goes down to the west coast
Tell me what the best know, said
Life is cold up on my coast, gotta go where the sun goes
Everyone with a dream goes down to the west coast
Tell me what the best know, said
I'm going, going to cali and I'm never coming back
I'm going, going, I desire the beaches and lounging on the sand
I'm going, going to cali and I'm never coming back
I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, we'll never speak again
Once I'm gone, I'm not coming back
Change my number, my name, and then leave the past
Find a girl, shave my head, bring the fam
Move 'em all out to Cali, have 'em lounging in the sand
That's the life that I planned, and it's not gonna change
We'll be strolling down Rodeo 'til our dying day
Have the family living good, gladly working everyday
It's the only way I can seem to keep the pain away
Sunny days with these grey skies following me
Everything is always dark, which confuses me
Moved to Cali for the sun, tried to run from the rain
Didn't have any lucky, still going insane
Now I've lost it, the thing that made me happy
Did it to myself, I deserve everything that happened
Blame myself, hate myself, everything is me
I did it to myself with all these California dreams
Life is cold up on my coast, gotta go where the sun goes
Everyone with a dream goes down to the west coast
Tell me what the best know, said
Life is cold up on my coast, gotta go where the sun goes
Everyone with a dream goes down to the west coast
Tell me what the best know, said
I'm going, going to cali and I'm never coming back
I'm going, going, I desire the beaches and lounging on the sand
I'm going, going to cali and I'm never coming back
I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, we'll never speak again
