Like a ghost
 Emptiness haunted his years
 Still his heart was made of nothing less than good
 Insecure narration in his head
 Something less than schizophrenia
 Creeping him with every move that he makes
 Breath he takes
 beautiful walk alone
 To his empty home
 Where he'll lay and he'll sleep by himself

 Go west young man
 Your future is untold
 You can find your dreams on the California coast
 Go west young man
 Your future isn't too
 Far away

 She hates me
 And I know it because she said so
 And I forgot my notebook
 And my socialist manifesto
 Will it be a tragedy
 Or [bad word] 
 The choice is up to you
 Life can lead you along on a leash
 Or you can break free [bad word] on your own
 Don't waste your life
 Go and live your life
 Like it's the last day here on this earth

 Go west young man
 Your future is untold
 You can find your dreams on the California coast
 Go west young man
 Your future isn't too
 Far away

 Don't waste your life
 Go live your life
 Like it's your last day here on this earth

 Go west young man
 Your future is untold
 You can find your dreams on the California coast
 Go west young man
 Your future isn't too
 Far away

 Go west young man
 Your future is untold
 You can find your dreams on the California coast
 Go west!
