The world's standin' still on the 405

The vampires ain't out on mullholand drive

Heart breaker smiles everywhere you turn

Some learn to fly, some crash and burn.

And the sun still shines all the time

And the sky's still blue

And the stars shine bright every night

Like they used to

Oh, but it ain't california

No, it ain't california

No, it ain't california without you.

American girls with those golden tans

Running down their dreams buried in the sand

Still bettin' it all on that hollywood sign

Hell, even the losers get lucky sometimes.

And the sun still shines all the time

And the sky's still blue

And the stars shine bright every night

Like they used to

Oh but it ain't california

It ain't california

No, it ain't california without you.

Since you've been gone the music keeps on goin'

Would've followed you to the great wide open

Me and mary jane, yeah we shed some tears

We're both free fallin' without you here.

And the sun still shines all the time

And the sky's still blue

And the stars shine bright every night

Like they used to

Oh but it ain't california

It ain't california

No, it ain't california without you.

(The stars shine bright every night, just like they used to)

It ain't california

No, it ain't california

No, it ain't california without you

(The stars shine bright every night, just like they used to)

It ain't california

No, it ain't california

No, it ain't california without you.
