 Are you out  there where the rainy  days begin  to feel  rather sad
 And the walls  are closing in  like the darkness  around me
 It's so hard  to look away  when the daylight doesn't  ever stay
 Above this dull  apartment view  - oh, I  will surround you
 It's quite clear that  I'm stuck here
 So I'll devise  a plan and cut  out a door  in my new living  room floor
 The porch light  is so bright
 That I will quickly  sneak down the dark  metal shape  of the rusty fire  escape.
I  bought a one-way  ticket
 Cause I knew I'd never  see the ground
 Unless I was aboard  a jet plane  and we were going down.
 When I wiped the tears  from my eyes
 The warm water took  me by surprise
 And I woke up beside  the ocean and  I realized:
I  must be in  California.
, , ,  (x4)
Aloha,  my happy  West Coast friends  - do you  feel alive
 When the breaking  waves arrive  and rush  all around you?
 The beach homes  in Oceanside  are quite well-known  by the evening tide
 And we can sleep  where we reside  with redwoods  around us.
 The blue air  is up there  and could I bring  it down,
 I'd bottle  it up  and save it for a sweet  summer night.
I  bought a one-way  ticket
 Cause I knew I'd never  see the ground
 Unless I was aboard  a jet plane  and we were going down.
 When I wiped the tears  from my eyes
 The warm water took  me by surprise
 And I woke up beside  the ocean and  I realized:
I  must be in  California.
 (x4)
 Am I  awake or is  this just a dream?
The  New Year  is out here
 And I will make  a lovely list  of your charms
 So I'll never feel alone  in your arms.
 ...I must be in California.
must  be in  California]
