California promises

Verse 1:
I'm on a side'o'canyon road
A people drive and stare
I'm eating dust inside my throat
Away from the face I wouldn't wear
The ground spins inside my head
And I can't drive anymore
Just bring my body down
And dream of what there was before
Chorus:
Promises, my promises
They take me all the way to extreme
My California promises
They locked me up inside of a dream
Verse 2:
I see the shadows on a strip
Thay come and stay for good
Sleepwalking grace with broken bones
They've come to conquer Hollywood
They fly at night to the candle light
They burn their wings and feel no pain
The part that once you got
You must go on and keep on playing
Chorus.
Bridge:
Stare, staring in the sky
Trying to catch a side of angels flying
See the sky with angels flying
Stare, staring in the sky
I just see the eyes that never crying
(organ solo)
Chorus.
