Summer creases Memories in pieces Undisturbed lullabyes Drifting away Earthquake wide awake Moving in sound dancing Not in the air but on the ground Stained pages drip's of Sages drink spilled On letters not in ink But lead Keeping starshine Wears it on my sleeve Catches my collar And so you leave It sounds like a beach Nights without sleep Stayed awake Grazing memories within My mind's eye I'm in love with my sadness We have an affair On again Off again But it lingers in the still air Still there, Budweiser Oh nicotine! What wars with white sails And blue oceans were fought for You, Marlboro Only to give me headaches California California California
( Don't talk, speak ) The need to move That need to sit still Periforate the fabric of My design
It brings me to tears Some nights Thinking about those highway Roads and street signs
Miss the ocean I miss the pier Miss the salt in the air
