Quasi - California lyrics

rate me

ife is full, life is grey:

At it's best it's just OK

But I'm happy to report

Life is also short

So I find myself back in California -

I'm a coolie for the tourists,

Those happy Epicureans:

Evil spectres from my own suburban upbring

As I reveal points of interest, I can chat so pleasantly,

But it's hard to be cheerful when you feel so hopeless

And there's no reason for this dark mood

It will pass; it will return, but will I ever learn

And the children of privilege begging for my spare change

Do they need my assistance to purchase their intoxicants,

Or would they best be served a swift kick

Slowly sinking in the vast ambivalent sea of California
