Jamming to that red record before I fit into a bra
Driving for miles and miles
An endless summer road of memories
A re-configured family, a new location
An old house, a pitched tent
It’s all the same - you can buy or you rent
Left standing on the side, our luggage on top
Curls blowing in the wind, the future of our kin
trying to hold it together with only four hands
Nobody has spoken and the tape recorder’s broken
It won’t rewind
Fuck, it won’t rewind
But still the songs stay the same
Older now
Stronger now
a simple pawn in life’s game
no one’s to blimmity blame
For myself
For sanity’s sake
No drugs, no lies
Just the truth always honest always brutal but which would you prefer?
Freaking out at the tears
I realize now it’s okay to cry
They fall and fall
through heartbreak and open windows
you enter my life
no needles no blood but that pinch still exists
you were there on the mountain
when I was lost
your voice in my ear in my head
when my body felt like lead your sounds were my Samson picking me up
I’ve chained myself and I’ve lost the key
But I’m on the ground, on my knees
Searching searching, and I think I’ve found it inside of me
I think I could be you
I think you could be me
Two opposing forces that are the same
And yet I’ve found my image in you
An incandescent tail of light shining through a pane of glass through which no one can remove the E
Inside of me
There is no resisting, simply existing
California California – our pilgrimages you hold in history
In your hilly sides, but don’t you go on a diet, girl
I plan to make a life in you, a never-ending matrimony
Separation won’t exist, the only way out will be up
And the only thing I’d leave you for is the moon
