California
Homeward Bound: Embracing the Unseen Beauty Outside California
Lyrics
We're not from California, we're not from N.Y.C
We're not natives of California or New York City.
If you go to Chicago, that's not where we will be
If you search in Chicago, you won't find us there either.
Here the girls aren't tan and the sun don't always shine
In our location, the girls aren't typically tanned, and the weather isn't always sunny.
But in my book, that's just fine
Despite the lack of these traits, I consider it acceptable or satisfactory.
It's a no mans land
It's an area without a specific identity or attributes.
There's no palm trees in the sand
There are no iconic palm trees on sandy beaches here.
That I can find, No No No
I cannot find those specific features in this place.
We're not from California
Reiteration emphasizing we're not affiliated with California.
We're not from California
-We're not from California
-We're not from California
-If you end up in Worm Town, you went to the wrong bar
If you end up in Worm Town looking for us, you've gone to the wrong place.
It's kind of close to Boston, but close is no cigar
Worm Town is similar to Boston in proximity, but it's not the same.
And the people smell, they all love to scream and yell
People here tend to have an odor and enjoy being loud, but I feel at home amidst this.
But it's home sweet home to me
Despite its quirks, this place feels like home to me.
And you, know you're there
You can sense or feel your arrival here.
You can taste it in the air
The atmosphere distinctly reflects this place.
You're gonna gag, yeah yeah yeah
It might be overwhelming or unpleasant at first.
We're not from California
Repeated emphasis on not being associated with California.
We're not from California
-We're not from California
-We're not from California
-The tap water tastes like toxic waste
The tap water has an unpleasant taste resembling toxic waste.
But it's safe to drink most of the time
Although not always, it's generally safe to drink.
The smoke kind of saturates the air
The air here is often filled with smoke or pollutants.
And the winters will make you want to die
The winters are extremely harsh and depressing.
We're not from California
Reiterated emphasis on not belonging to California.
We're not from California
-We're not from California
-We're not from California
