California Is Crying
California's Silent Sorrow
Lyrics
Pack in the pain I'm passing
Packing in the pain and moving forward
I don't believe I'm backing down
Expressing disbelief in giving up
Painting a part of passion
Creating art with strong emotion
Taking and turning every town
Taking and transforming every town
Do you really want to run with somebody like me
Pondering compatibility with the speaker
Do you really want to live in the limelight
Questioning the desirability of fame
Did you really have fun
Reflecting on whether past experiences were enjoyable
Did you really feel free
Questioning the authenticity of feeling free
Did you really want to take it in hindsight
Reflecting on past decisions with hindsight
I swear this city is sinking
Expressing a belief in the decline of the city
Surely the king is losing his crown
Suggesting a loss of power or influence
Burning and buying, California is crying
Describing California in distress
Sinning and sighing, California is crying
Highlighting sinful and sorrowful aspects
I know, you know, we know
Asserting shared knowledge
Lie low, live and let go
Encouraging a low-profile lifestyle
I see smoke and Simi dying right on TV
Observing smoke and distress in Simi Valley
And do you really want to have to say goodbye today
Questioning the desirability of saying goodbye
But would you really want to have it happen any other way
Reflecting on the inevitability of events
Case and studies show, do I really want to know
Raising questions about the need for information
Time for change is slow, do I really want to go
Contemplating the pace of change
It takes you and me, do I really want to be
Emphasizing the importance of unity
Hand and hand is key, do I really want to see
Highlighting the significance of being together
Burning and buying, California is crying
Reiterating California's distress with emphasis
Sinning and sighing, California is crying
Emphasizing sinful and sorrowful aspects with repetition
I know, you know, we know
Asserting shared knowledge with repetition
Lie low, live and let go
Encouraging a low-profile lifestyle with repetition
I see smoke and Simi dying right on TV
Observing smoke and distress in Simi Valley with repetition
And do you really want to have to say goodbye today
Questioning the desirability of saying goodbye with repetition
But would you really want to have it happen any other way
Reflecting on the inevitability of events with repetition
Burning and buying, California is crying
Reiterating California's distress with emphasis
Sinning and sighing, California is crying
Emphasizing sinful and sorrowful aspects with repetition
Burning and buying, California is crying
Reiterating California's distress with emphasis
Sinning and sighing, California is crying
Emphasizing sinful and sorrowful aspects with repetition
