In California - Neko Case

In California, I dream of snow
& all the places we used to go
With the night falling down
With the night falling down
I'm living in Korea-town
Waking to the sounds of car-alarms

I remember your face when I showed you the ticket
Said you were happy for me, your heart wasn't in it
Just a phone call away, now there's nothing to say
As the days roll by disconnected
In the land where the sun is shining
I'm crying alone, palm trees are laughing at me
Another fool playing songs that don't matter
For people who don't chatter endlessly

Another suicide on the 405
The Black Dahlia, she smiles and smiles
Its the same old town that bled her dry
One more start and one more try
Bound to make it do or die

Take a walk to balmy brae, try to wash these dreams away
They tell me LA's beautiful when it rains
