I'm going to California
turn the corner, turn the key
unlock the secret garden
and throw away the key
Don't care how long it takes me
Don't care what I have to do
I'd crawl across the great divide
just to get back to you
My God, how did it ever come to this
wallowing in my own shit
Some birds that sing
have to sacrifice their wings
Can you save me
save me from myself
I'm going to California
let the sun melt down my heart
There'll be no fighting or crying
no more stumbling in the dark
and when all the king's horses
and all the kings men
come to visit me in California
I'll gladly let them in
My God, how did it ever come to this
wallowing in my own shit and
Some birds that sing
they had to sacrifice their wings
Can you save me
save me from myself
I'm going to California
turn the corner, turn the key
lock up the secret garden
and throw away the key
