[00:07.06]Oh California,
[00:08.47]I tried to warn ya,
[00:10.17]The earth is gonna quake before ya.
[00:13.73]You'll be real sorry
[00:15.29]But it won't be sorry,
[00:16.92]The dirt is gonna crack
[00:19.25]And split you in two.
[00:21.35]Then you'll be halved
[00:23.30]And you'll have to find a match
[00:26.13]That fit your guts,
[00:28.29]It hurts so much
[00:29.91]But it keeps your blood in.
[00:32.67]Watch out they'll swarm ya,
[00:34.46]The bees that were born way too early,
[00:37.13]Wakened by the swirling.
[00:39.58]Cover your nose up,
[00:41.17]They'll fill all your holes,
[00:42.83]They will weigh you down
[00:44.38]With honeycombs and though,
[00:47.32]It'll be your one chance to be sweet,
[00:50.92]You'll be a thankless home
[00:53.08]For ungrateful drones
[00:55.03]Who will churn your bones to butter.
[00:57.89]And you're not coming home,
[01:01.40]No you've got plenty more in you don't ya,
[01:05.68]So please go easy
[01:07.19]And breathe some clean air for me.
[01:12.98]Oh California,
[01:14.63]I hate to inform ya,
[01:16.15]Now waves are crashing
[01:18.19]Coming toward ya.
[01:19.78]Soaking your pals
[01:21.49]And dragging them out,
[01:23.02]You're the only straggler
[01:25.18]Grabbing onto the shore.
[01:27.47]But all the salt's pooled in your ears,
[01:30.92]It's all your fault I tell ya,
[01:33.54]Listen will ya,
[01:35.37]Can't you hear me baby.
[01:38.31]And you're not coming home,
[01:41.28]No you've got plenty more in you don't ya,
[01:45.73]So please go easy
[01:47.43]And breathe some clean air for me.
[01:52.48]And if I'd only known how to warn you,
[01:56.80]I'd pull you undertow if I had to,
[02:00.16]But I'm too lazy
[02:01.63]And you're too stubborn baby.
