California leaving California California leaving California No one but me is walking Under palms that give no shade I'm leaving you today California leave me California California leave me California How cruel was I to think that I could make you change? Oh, give me some shade Oh, England, come soon How could I have believed That I could live and breathe in you? California killed me California California killed me California I think it's time to leave I think it's time to leave I told no one I'd stay I think it's time to leave
