[00:07.06] Oh California,
[00:08.47] I tried to warn ya,
[00:10.17] The earth is gonna quake before ya.
[00:13.73] You'll be real sorry
[00:15.29] But it won't be sorry,
[00:16.92] The dirt is gonna crack
[00:19.25] And split you in two.
[00:21.35] Then you'll be halved
[00:23.30] And you'll have to find a match
[00:26.13] That fit your guts,
[00:28.29] It hurts so much
[00:29.91] But it keeps your blood in.
[00:32.67] Watch out they'll swarm ya,
[00:34.46] The bees that were born way too early,
[00:37.13] Wakened by the swirling.
[00:39.58] Cover your nose up,
[00:41.17] They'll fill all your holes,
[00:42.83] They will weigh you down
[00:44.38] With honeycombs and though,
[00:47.32] It'll be your one chance to be sweet,
[00:50.92] You'll be a thankless home
[00:53.08] For ungrateful drones
[00:55.03] Who will churn your bones to butter.
[00:57.89] And you're not coming home,
[01:01.40] No you've got plenty more in you don't ya,
[01:05.68] So please go easy
[01:07.19] And breathe some clean air for me.
[01:12.98] Oh California,
[01:14.63] I hate to inform ya,
[01:16.15] Now waves are crashing
[01:18.19] Coming toward ya.
[01:19.78] Soaking your pals
[01:21.49] And dragging them out,
[01:23.02] You're the only straggler
[01:25.18] Grabbing onto the shore.
[01:27.47] But all the salt's pooled in your ears,
[01:30.92] It's all your fault I tell ya,
[01:33.54] Listen will ya,
[01:35.37] Can't you hear me baby.
[01:38.31] And you're not coming home,
[01:41.28] No you've got plenty more in you don't ya,
[01:45.73] So please go easy
[01:47.43] And breathe some clean air for me.
[01:52.48] And if I'd only known how to warn you,
[01:56.80] I'd pull you undertow if I had to,
[02:00.16] But I'm too lazy
[02:01.63] And you're too stubborn baby.
[02:05.28]
