California is the place to be

When you're alone in the world and you wanna be free

Up in the hills or down by the sea

Deep in the canyons where the vampires run free



California, dry as the moon

We wanna watch the end and we'll be there soon

Sun is the color of blood in my mouth

We were dying in the north so we all ran south for the good life



California, I love that name

Free from the past and free from the pain

California, wish you were here

Where the blood runs cold and the skies are clear

It's the good life

It's the good life



California burns to the sky

We're here to take the picture and to call out why

California, I love you at night

When all the lonely killers have turned out the light

And it's still

And we got hours to kill



California, I love that name

Free from the past and free from the pain

California, wish you were here

Where the blood runs cold and the skies are clear



California, I love that name

Free from the past and free from the pain

California, forget what I mean

But the blood runs cold and the skies are clear

It's the good life

Yeah, it's the good life

It's the good life

Oh, it's the good life



Drive west on sunset to the sea

Drive west on sunset to the sea

Drive west on sunset to the sea

You'll never find me
