Step off the plane and the first thing that I hear
Welcome to California
I'm doing my best just to try not to disappear
And no one is gonna do that for you
I've got pale white skin and a point I've got to prove
And I hear that's easy if you got the money
Now they tell me I'm done but I'm only 22
Yeah California is kinda funny
Either I can do better
Or I'm just fooling myself
I never say never
'Cause I'm just fooling myself
Either I can do better
Or I'm just fooling myself
I never say never
'Cause I'm just fooling myself
Welcome to California!
I'm setting up shop, doing what I gotta do to live
And I've been inhaling that super freeway
27 months with a hunger that I just can't shift
That hunger is pretty common these days
We all wanna be rich and famous and powerful
These are snowman's dreams and they're beautiful
We need those fast cars‚ Hollywood stars
We'll split the difference and make it all ours
Welcome to California
Either I can do better
Or I'm just fooling myself
I never say never
'Cause I'm just fooling myself
Either I can do better
Or I'm just fooling myself
I never say never
'Cause I'm just fooling myself
Welcome to California
You know I don't know what I'm doing
She says she came here just to get away from God
She says I need you to tell me something
How can I stay when I'm always falling off?
She takes a sip and says
She hopes she's dead by morning
And she jumps up on the table says she's over it
And she screams I'm gonna be Marilyn Monroe
For a place that got so famous
For it's glamour and it's sunshine
I'm still surprised by all the snow
We all wanna be rich and famous and powerful
Do these snowman's dreams make us beautiful?
We need those fast cars‚ Hollywood stars
We'll split the difference and make it all ours
Welcome to California
Either I can do better
Or I'm just fooling myself
I never say never
'Cause I'm just fooling myself
Either I can do better
Or I'm just fooling myself
I never say never
'Cause I'm just fooling myself
Welcome to California
Welcome to California
