Lyrics
Shadow Of California
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Beneath the freeway at the cloverleaf junction
The symbol of good luck eminates darkness
The shadow will grow to cover California
Somewhere on the road from San Bernadino
Its future is stirring the past from that pass
Speed is the game in the shadow of kings
Where the company of angels fly
Their fear at the crossroads of what's in their future
Down in the darkness on the highways of night
With no love from the past
Chorus: Night makes right, the symbol remains
Into the darkness must must for the pains
In the shadow of California
Jam
Revolution by night, ( ) in this future
Kings of the shadow on the highway of night
From San Bernadino these angels are racing this night to your city
The host of angels, Los Angeles
Chorus:
