Elizabeth Cook - Not California Lyrics

(by Dan Messe)

Who’s the girl inside of the blue screen light

The sun is just pouring out, everything’s out of site

Turn around the room is just black and white

She’s whispering nah nah nah nah nah nah nah,
AND IT’S NOT TRUE

AND IT’S NOT FAIR

AND IT’S NOT NEW

AND IT’S NOT CALIFORNIA HERE

Later on you’re breaking the boxes down

There’s nobody out tonight, nobody’s hanging round

So you take the drive that used to be almost right

And now it’s just empty lots around you

All these empty lots around you

AND THEY DON’T KNOW

WHAT YOU HOLD DEAR

AND THEY CAN’T SEE

THAT IT’S NOT CALIFORNIA HERE

Come a time when I may just walk away

The sun is just barely up , the sky is completely gray

And you’re the one I wanna be with today

Let them say nah nah nah nah nah

AND I’M NOT STRONG

AND YOU’RE NOT RICH

AND WE’RE NOT LOST

WHERE WE DON’T LIVE

AND IT’S NOT TRUE

AND IT’S NOT FAIR

AND THEY’RE NOT US

AND IT’S NOT CALIFORNIA HERE

I’M THE ONE WHO WANTS TO BE WITH YOU TONITE

AND I’M THE ONE WHO WANTS TO BE THE ONE YOU’RE WITH TONITE

AND I’M THE ONE WHO WANTS TO BE THE ONE YOU’RE WITH TONITE

AND I’M THE ONE WHO WANTS TO BE THE ONE YOU’RE WITH TONITE
