Who's the girl inside of the blue-screen light ?
The sun is just pouring out 
And everything is out of sight 

Turn around the room is just black and white 
She's whispering...

And it's not [bad word] 
And it's not fair 
And it's not you 
And it's not California here 

Later on you're breaking the boxes down 
There's nobody out tonight 
Nobody's hanging 'round 

So you take the drive 
That used to be almost right 
And now it's just empty lots around you 
All these empty lots around you 

And they don't know 
What you hold dear 
And they can't see 
That it's not California here 
 [bad word] a time when I may just walk away 
The sun is just barely on
The sky [bad word] grey 

But you're the one I want to be with today 
Let them say....

And I'm not strong 
And you're not rich 
And we're not lost 
Where we don't live 

And it's not [bad word] 
And it's not fair 
And they're not us 
And it's not California here 

I'm the one who wants to be with you tonight 
And I'm the one who wants to be the one you're with tonight 
And I'm the one who wants to be the one you're with tonight 
And I'm the one who wants to be the one you're with tonight
