Lyrics
All the beautiful girls are sweating through their tank tops
I lived in the studio right by the 99 cent shop
Got followed home at night so much the rent dropped
The sun melted all my lipstick
My vanity made time stop
Guess I played the game but I never thought about it that way
I laid around the Pasadena compound
Made the band play all of my amateur shit
Then I’d go home and strangle it
Make a better song
Make a better life
Make amends with myself all the time
All the time
California
You gave me all of my nerve
California
I came to you a weaker girl
And I got burnt on all of your beaches
Tracing tan lines with my thumb
Fucked around with Hollywood preachers
Feeling saved, believing in it
Kept my freedom
Kept my freedom
In the eternal summer we put the oysters on a credit card
I took a boy back to my borrowed Laurel Canyon backyard
Tried to show him my shiny things, but he always liked to hear me sing
Now he loves me in my normalcy
We’re making out in the Walgreens
California
You gave me all of my nerve
California
I came to you a weaker girl
And I got burnt on all of your beaches
Tracing tan lines with my thumb
Fucked around with Hollywood preachers
Feeling saved, believing in it
Kept my freedom
Kept my freedom
All the time
All the time
California
You gave me all of my nerve
California
I came to you a weaker girl
And I got burnt on all of your beaches
Tracing tan lines with my thumb
Fucked around with Hollywood preachers
Feeling saved, believing in it
Kept my freedom
Kept my freedom
