Eden Espinosa - In the Blasted California Sun Lyrics



Eden Espinosa - In the Blasted California Sun Lyrics





[KIZETTE, spoken]
Mama, it's time
[sung] Starting over...

[BARON]
Starting over...

[TAMARA]
In the blasted California sun
No grey can survive
Where is my blessed blue, deep and ancient
Glistening on canvas since the Medicis?
Where is the grey of the Paris sky?
The grey of her eyes?
Nothing but avocado and orange:
A palette utterly devoid of poetry

In the blasted California sun
It is a bitch to outlive
Your own context

Oh, you've gotta go to New York for culture
New York - I've got jewelry older than New York!
Nonetheless, everything else
Is gone...

[BARON]
Starting over...

[TAMARA]
The apartment on Fifth Avenue is lovely, darling
But perhaps I prefer Beverly Hills after all
This home used to belong to King Vidor
Of course, that's just his name
He wasn't actually a king

All the best people they've got clamor for the Baroness at their parties
But no one would dream of commissioning a portrait
Where would it hang?

No grand houses, no grand faces
No grand lights
Thirteen years, no gallery shows
I pass the time

Raoul died in his sleep
I wept, to my surprise, for five days straight
We were good together
Good to each other
We learn late sometimes
Mmm...
In the blasted California sun
It is a bitch to outlive
Everyone...
