Say goodbye to Oz and everything you own California dreamin' is a Pettibon LA's screaming you're my home Vanity is blasted but it's rarely fair I could smell the Prozac in your pretty hair Got a lot of friends, but is anyone there I don't know but it's been said Your heart is stronger than your head And this location is my home Stick 'n move you're living in a quick world Got a heavy laugh for such a tiny girl Born into it that's for sure Rivers get connected so much stronger than expected, well Sick love comes to wash us away Prisons of perspective How your vision gets corrected and Sick love is my modern cliché People talk and tell you what you want to hear Do you really need another souvenir Super heroes tend to disappear Fame is just a trick you see an empty glass Leave you feeling thirsty and so very fast Chase your tail my baby it'll be your last I don't know but it's been said Your heart is stronger than your head And this location is my home Rivers get connected so much stronger than expected, well Sick love comes to wash us away Prisons of perspective How your vision gets corrected and Sick love is my modern cliché Rivers get connected so much stronger than expected, well Sick love comes to wash us away Prisons of perspective How your vision gets corrected and Sick love is my modern cliché Openly defective is the lover you elected and A portrait she was bound to portray
