Californian Sun 03:55
lyrics

I found myself in San Diego the place where everything seems to glow i’m sat outside western tows they steal cars all the time so i’m told they’re hungry for the dollar hungry for their time it feels like only I know something’s gotta give if you want your freedom if you want to live under the californian sun that burns bright for everyone Shiny cars and shiny homes on show shiny teeth on shiny phones that speak I made two twenties car washing but not a penny busking on third street they’re too tired for a song too tired to play along it feels like only I know something’s gotta give if you want your freedom if you want to live under the californian sun that burns bright for everyone

Run Run Levina Run Run Levina I saw you on the street looking like you could be cleaner Run Run Levina Run Run Levina I saw you on the street looking like you could be cleaner I sang her a sad love song I didn't know her sadness until she started crying and told me of her sorrow she said she had three children by three different fathers and now she's fearing life cause one's getting out of jail she caked on her eyeshadow hiding all the battles her light concealer hiding her black eyes of tomorrow Run Run Levina Run Run Levina I saw you on the street looking like you could be cleaner Run Run Levina Run Run Levina I saw you on the street looking like you could be cleaner Run Run Levina Run Run Levina Run Run Levina I wish your life was cleaner She hung around after hours of escapism simultaneously dancing and crying her friends were babysitting whilst she was busy sipping I said, "aren't you keen to get home to your daughters?" she's trying to leave town but can not find the courage she's worried that CIFs will make it their business Run Run Levina Run Run Levina I saw you on the street looking like you could be cleaner Run Run Levina Run Run Levina I saw you on the street looking like you could be cleaner Run Run Levina Run Run Levina Run Run Levina I wish your life was cleaner I gave her my phone number I told her she could call me it's funny who you meet when you know it's for a reason Run Run Levina Run Run Levina I saw you on the street looking like you could be cleaner Run Run Levina Run Run Levina I saw you on the street looking like you could be cleaner Run Run Levina Run Run Levina Run Run Levina I wish your life was cleaner Run Run Run Levina Run Run Run Levina Run Run Run Levina

I see through your facade and your Californian smile you know we've only just arrived here, it already feels like a while you've got to give gratuity you've got to give gratuity you've got to give gratuity i didn't know kindness came with a fee you've got to give gratuity you've got to give gratuity you've got to give gratuity i didn't know kindness came with a fee Our driver's face turned awfully sour when he spent over an hour taking us to our destination we thought there was no expectation you've got to give gratuity you've got to give gratuity you've got to give gratuity i didn't know kindness came with a fee you've got to give gratuity you've got to give gratuity you've got to give gratuity i didn't know kindness came with a fee We're broke what more can I say and we've got a baby on the way we're only poor musicians if we were in a different position you've got to give gratuity you've got to give gratuity you've got to give gratuity i didn't know kindness came with a fee you've got to give gratuity you've got to give gratuity you've got to give gratuity i didn't know kindness came with a fee

Cameras in a high school fines for freedom camping all these rules and regulations freedom is a prison and if it all goes wrong I'll meet you at the lovers gate I'll meet you at the lovers gate I'll meet you at the lovers gate I'll meet you at the lovers gate We can escape the haters and the prison snitchers cause we are creators not just mass debaters and if it all goes wrong I'll meet you at the lovers gate I'll meet you at the lovers gate I'll meet you at the lovers gate I'll meet you at the lovers gate Storm's a brewing what are we doing here? as long as we love we have nothing to fear and if it all goes wrong I'll meet you at the lovers gate I'll meet you at the lovers gate I'll meet you at the lovers gate I'll meet you at the lovers gate and if it all goes wrong I'll meet you at the lovers gate I'll meet you at the lovers gate I'll meet you at the lovers gate I'll meet you at the lovers gate I'll meet you at the lovers gate I'll meet you at the lovers gate I'll meet you at the lovers gate I'll meet you at the lovers gate

lyrics

Someone found a job for you they saw it in the evening news something to keep you occupied working on an assembly line cause our lines don't pay the rent doesn't mean we're not content working hard every day trying to be more eloquent it's the same old same old story that is being sold only you, my baby blue can teach me something new something new something new If you listen to the daily news you'd be forgiven for being confused and being too scared to leave your house the hard truth is you're safer outside if you can't trust your neighbour and feel guilty for asking a favour what is this world coming to? fearing people with a different view it's the same old same old story that is being sold only you, my baby blue can teach me something new something new something new What good will it do to hate we all started out the same maybe you were a cuter baby or your mama liked to think so We're all in this dingy together unclench your fists and we can weather any unwelcome storm but first we have to face ourselves it's the same old same old story that is being sold only you, my baby blue can teach me something new something new something new something new

When I was at school I didn't try that hard I didn't play guitar then I liked making art but where are you now? my missing mannequin man You didn't have a face and that's how I drew you I thought it'd be peculiar to put you by the mirror but where are you now? my missing mannequin man I wish I gave you wings to fly so you could come back to me I wish I gave you legs to run so you could come back to me I wish you weren't in two dimension so you could come back to me so you could come back to me so you could come back to me Where are you now? my missing mannequin man Where are you now? my missing mannequin man my missing mannequin man my missing mannequin man You didn't have a mouth so you couldn't talk and that's why I liked you, you were made out of chalk but where are you now? my missing mannequin man You won me an award it made the newspaper and for a little while my mum was really proud but where are you now? my missing mannequin man I wish I gave you wings to fly so you could come back to me I wish I gave you legs to run so you could come back to me I wish you weren't in two dimension so you could come back to me so you could come back to me so you could come back to me Where are you now? my missing mannequin man Where are you now? my missing mannequin man my missing mannequin man my missing mannequin man
