Thinking about leaving California Think I'd be humbled if I went Northward Then maybe I could leave these hands behind 'Cause everything cuts in California Tonight And I've got something that I've never told you Tell me why I never did it for you And maybe I will listen just this time Show me yours and I will show you mine I'll lay it out here on the floor But you won't come here anymore 'Cause everything I love in California's A knife Oh no Oh no A knife Oh no Oh no And I'm on fire In this blizzard baby Your gaze is scathing From where you bade me your storm And I'll go out alone And I'll go out alone And I'll go out alone
