California - Something For Kate

I’m all chalked out on the ground by the curtain call

All of the sharp observations are a paper trail forty stories tall

Yeah where any conclusions might slip through my fingers

As i’m listening to the stories she’s telling now

It’s a beautiful life

It’s a beautiful lie

When it’s late she’s still talking about california

Where the distance from the myth has never been greater

From the sea to the boulevard stretching her arms to the desert

It’s a beautiful life

Such a beautiful lie

Its a beautiful life

But she’s leading me one step behind

With the promise one day we’ll arrive

And if she ever runs out of california

She’s always got, she’s always got last summer

A state of mind with occasional tremors

It’s a beutiful life

Under restless and fluorescent skies

She’s all coloured all into the lines, lines, lines, lines

It’s a beautiful life

And shes leaving me one step behind

With the promise one day we’ll arrive

One day we’ll arrive, one day we’ll arrive

Ooh

When i get there i

When i get there i

Always one step behind
