the beaches are deserted
they've been this way for days
the sun is brightly shining
but it's just a stoplight in this haze
i've been sitting here for hours
waiting for the ache to go away
it's in my heart
it's in my hands
time passes with the lapping of the waves
california's burning
but it's gonna be o.k.
sometimes the places we've been dreaming
are just not the place to be
the city is a cancer
the streets are in my head
some disease has come inside of me now
my body weighs like lead
i feel like it's all over
i've got nothing left to give
then i found a four-leaf-clover
and i laughed 'till i was sick
california's burning
but it's gonna be o.k.
sometimes the place we're finally leaving
we're not so glad to go away
the breeze begins to freshen
the sun begins to shine
california's moving onward
inching closer to divine
california's burning
but it's gonna be o.k.
hold my hand while i am sleeping
guide my dreams and light my way
california’s burning
