Heavy, you pull on my heart To a lonely scene Tell me, I'm more than just half More than in between All the signs lead to sweet L.A. Take my hand and hold it like you know me I live in hope without the glory Who you fooling, Californian dream Slowly, I grow and I know You're not all you seem Maybe I'm better alone Living through the screen All the signs lead to sweet L.A. Take my hand and hold it like you know me I live in hope without the glory Futures super Californian dream With every line you send my soul upstream Promises of your caress from far away A clever story that you sold to me Who's the fool in California's dream?
