Dan Hill - Southern California Lyrics
When the sun sets beneath the mountain topsAnd the water begins to riseI try to contain my exci-itementBut the force of the night conquers my surpriseKids on the street corner peddlin' mapsOn how to meet the starsProstitute turns, my body burnsShe'll cure your loneliness for half an hourCars breeze dow-own the avenueRock 'n' roll's suspended in mid airA girl cha-anting nonsense takes my moneyPuts a flower in my hairBillboards grin and my head spinsThis may be heaven but it's not my ho-omeAll the sunshine and beautiful peopleMake me feel more and more aloneSouthern California - where your drea-eams almost come trueSouthern California - where everyone's a star except for youSouthern California - like a beautiful gir-irl you cannot touchEveryone lives forever here - those were my thou-oughtsAnd I don't wanna be a part of that all American dreamBut still I keep on comin' back, I can't let it get the best of me(The best of me, best of me)Lord give me the strength to see myself clearly, see myself clearlyOh-hoh-hoh-hoh, and time flies by like a meteor in the sky-yAnd I'm wondering is it just meEverything seems so perfect like some commerical on TV (on TV, TV, TV)Lord give us the strength to show real feelings, real feelingsIn Southern California - where your drea-eams almost come trueIn Southern California - where everyone's a star except for youSouthern California - like a beautiful gir-irl you cannot touchEveryone lives forever here, everyone lives forever hereEveryone lives forever here, everyone lives forever hereEveryone lives forever here, everyone lives forever hereEveryone lives forever here [fade]
