What do you do here And who do you work with I'm trying to get them to kick me out But it isn't quite working We got Kashmiri glass and some Nepalese shirts When we moved out to Berkeley from Houston While I lectured the class You were lost in the stacks Of the East Asian collection Did your internship offer Did you finish your masters How's the rent up in Richmond You're your parents disaster Can your tiger hat protect you from the ocean Walk across the Bay Bridge tied to who you think you'll die with They say Outer Sunset's cute Kids on Macbooks in their bedrooms Well that's what I want I guess Eat in cafes, San Francisco Take a trip up to Astoria Afraid there's nothing left here for ya Is this new life worth it to ya? Have a beer, here kid you've earned it You've earned it Come on then Let's go off to New Zealand Christchurch would be perfect Is that what you're thinking I'd bartend And you'd work in a florist I wish I could tell you That it's what I wanted Texas burns in flames behind me Come and find me We'll take shots until it's dark Then wander barefoot through the grass of UC Berkeley When will this all end dear I think that I'll die here News feeds would be tragic Isn't that romantic Flash back to 2015 In medias res and mis en scene Every night I was smoking weed On our couch in front of our house on Ward Street Kimiko flew in from Japan And I took her down to Stanford To meet with some professors While I sat up on the roof of my highlander And surveyed the kids on campus Wondering if this was the answer The eastern ideal of excellence And 4.5% acceptance rates It's hard to illustrate the Golden State's effect on me Without psychedelic imagery Of veins cut open, bleeding colors endlessly And I guess there's not a better city to walk in drunk at night Come up on Corona Heights To see the Bay Bridge strike the water back to Berkeley's lights And part of me still sits there Upon a rooftop, lost in drunk thoughts Awesome sacred views of hillocks Repeating mantra, saying hold on To this darkened landscape for a moment longer And hear the ghosts of science grad school Whisper to you not to do drugs But to look up At the vast and empty stars above 2010s California Pacific dreams can't be lost And you are not lost Cause I have found you here in this song
