LYRICS
i was a sucker a long time ago
i ain’t a sucker though, not anymore
that’s what they all say
you’re just as bad as them
that’s what they all say
what makes think you’re any better
‘cause you’re not
take a seat take a slot
on the bus heading west
you’re gonna need your rest
next thing i knew i was in california
it didn’t feel strange at all
everyone said you’ve got to know that
you won’t be back next fall
i been sinning i been begging to get caught
i been waiting for my freedom from this cult
i was planning my escape like nonstop
got my ticket for the last flight before the sun
comes up again
over the bridge
it’s creeping over where i live
next thing i knew i was in california
it didn’t feel strange at all
everybody said you’ve got to know that
you won’t be back next fall
(california, california —)
[you never sent my stuff to me
but i don’t really care much
someone sold my shit for me
i guess i never really needed it]
red light at the top of the hill
i was stopped for an hour or two
took a while to adjust to the fact
i couldnt change even if i wanted to
to all my friends that are still in the city
are you waking up later and later
to the all my friends that are still my friends
i hope that’s all the friends i ever made
sweat through my shirt crossing the bridge
think i could maybe bum a change of attire
from an apartment on lafayette street
or a house up in brooklyn heights
pit stop on my way back to work
i hope i don’t get caught in the rain
even if i do it wont be so bad
or maybe bad enough that i’ll feel some pain
some pain is okay
