Leaves are brown
Sky is grey
And I'm a thousand miles away

I'd be safe
I'd be warm
My head changes everyday

I'm not dreaming
This is real to me
Take me back to sunken city

Take me back to the sunshine state
Leaving town was a mistake

I'm always sick of home
I'm always home sick
Working paycheck to paycheck
Just to pay the rent
My soul is parched
The coast soothes this thirst
I'm a slave to the curse and it's getting worse

California cursed

I was born here
I know I'll die here
Until that day, this is where I'll be
This state has swallowed me whole
Suck me down and set me free

California cursed
