The rocket ships of La Jolla are waiting to blast away, blast away

Away for adventure, a trip of a lifetime of discovery

And you are the captain, going without me



(California)

(California)

(California)

California drive-by, shooting film from the car

Church by the road like rockets pointing at the stars

How did we get here, what on earth went wrong?

Leave the earth on a rocket ship if you feel you don抰 belong



It抯 just an idle dream, a fantasy, but I抣l tell you something

a dream was good enough for me



The rocket ships of La Jolla are waiting to blast away, blast away

Away for adventure, a trip of a lifetime of discovery

And you are the captain, going without me



California sunshine, north London rain

The same sky that launched them both will welcome you again

A house of devotion, more than it seems?

Fool myself with appearances

If you know what I mean



It抯 just an idle dream, a fantasy, but I抣l tell you something

a dream was good enough for me



So what the hell is wrong with fantasy?

A dream was good enough (good enough) for me.



The rocket ships of La Jolla are waiting to blast away, blast away

Away for adventure, a trip of a lifetime of discovery

The rocket ships of La Jolla are waiting to blast away, blast away

Away for adventure, a trip of a lifetime of discovery

And you are the captain
