Dan Hill Southern California Lyrics

Southern California Lyrics

When the sun sets beneath the mountain tops

And the water begins to
rise

I try to contain my exci-itement

But the force of the night
conquers my surprise

Kids on the street corner peddlin' maps

On how
to meet the stars

Prostitute turns, my body burns

She'll cure your
loneliness for half an hour



Cars breeze dow-own the avenue

Rock 'n' roll's suspended in mid air

A girl cha-anting nonsense takes
my money

Puts a flower in my hair

Billboards grin and my head
spins

This may be heaven but it's not my ho-ome

All the sunshine
and beautiful people

Make me feel more and more alone



Southern California - where your drea-eams almost come true

Southern
California - where everyone's a star except for you

Southern California -
like a beautiful gir-irl you cannot touch

Everyone lives forever here -
those were my thou-oughts



And I don't wanna be a part of that all
American dream

But still I keep on comin' back, I can't let it get the
best of me 

(The best of me, best of me)

Lord give me the strength
to see myself clearly, see myself clearly

Oh-hoh-hoh-hoh, and time flies
by like a meteor in the sky-y

And I'm wondering is it just me

Everything seems so perfect like some commerical on TV (on TV, TV, TV)

Lord give us the strength to show real feelings, real feelings



In Southern California - where your drea-eams almost come true

In
Southern California - where everyone's a star except for you

Southern
California - like a beautiful gir-irl you cannot touch

Everyone lives
forever here, everyone lives forever here

Everyone lives forever here,
everyone lives forever here

Everyone lives forever here, everyone lives
forever here

Everyone lives forever here          [fade]
