Like A California King |
I see you have made yourself a brand new life |
Ooh, such a cool blue star with a bright new shine |
I see you wear your checkered past |
Just like a shining suit of gold |
I know you think you look so special |
I am told you have found yourself a brand new time |
Watch the world stand still as the years go by |
I know you think you are new and different |
But it makes no sense to me |
There is nothing new about you |
Just another self-made man |
There is nothing new that I can see |
Enjoy it while you can |
I know you think you look so special |
What makes you think you are so special? |
What makes you think you are unique? |
I see you smile and I get angry |
As I watch you go colossal like a California king |
All these Californians coming up here and changing everything |
They’re just a bunch of carpetbaggers and I wished they’d all just go. |
(Go!) |
I hear you gave the world a brand new voice |
Such a happy melody with a new wave whine |
Yeah, I see you hide behind your own noise |
I think I’ve seen enough |
I will find you in the crowded room |
I will knock you off your feet |
I will burn you just like teenage love |
I will eat you just like meat |
I will break you into pieces |
Hold you up for all the world to see |
Yeah, what makes you think you are better than me? |
What makes you think you’re better? |
What makes you think you are complete? |
What makes you think you are the only one immune to falling down? |
Why can’t you see? |
I see you fall and I get happy |
I will watch you burn like fire |
I will watch you burn like a California king |
(I will watch you burn like a California king) |
A California king |
I will watch you burn like a California king |
I will watch you burn like a California king |
Mmm, I will watch you burn |
Yes, I will watch you burn |
Like a California |
California king |
Yeah, I will watch you burn like a California king |
