Name: New California
Duration: P00H04M46S
Description: I think I like this one, but it's definitely another rush-job in the lyrics. At least I did have a concept for this one, one that could very well survive a second draft. Kind of came out a "Sister Lovers"/CSN cross, as dangerous as that sounds. At the least, it feels like good Sunday-recovery music.

I think I like this one, but it's definitely another rush-job in the lyrics. At least I did have a concept for this one, one that could very well survive a second draft. Kind of came out a "Sister Lovers"/CSN cross, as dangerous as that sounds. At the least, it feels like good Sunday-recovery music.

lyrics

shot down
where the wind takes the whistling away
we're scorching the earth in our way
never to pass through one day

my star
how could I drag you so far
this view from the back of a car
speeding through cities of scars

drown in black river's pull

new California, we're as far as we can run
the banks of our territories fallen
when you feel the ocean breathe beneath your weary feet
the night falls, the clarion horns are calling

this war
the generals sipping their gin
the cavalry marches begin
you're playing the pass-through again

go home
dig yourself out of the wreck
tear up this traveler's check
the captain has left the flight deck

what are you waiting for?

new California, we're as far as we can run
the banks of our territories fallen
when you feel the ocean breathe beneath your weary feet
the night falls, the clarion horns are calling
