California

[00:06.06]A new game scrapping my life
[00:08.49]It was you out back with a butter knife
[00:11.35]Who took my parts, buried 'em with the dog
[00:17.78]Not great, but what did I think
[00:20.17]That a bouncy castle Catholic could give to me
[00:24.59]But a little wine and God?
[00:27.79]
[00:27.79]So I'm working on a wreckage
[00:31.52]With nothing there to salvage
[00:34.47]Oh, I'm just taking photos
[00:37.39]For my book about the damage and
[00:40.62]Some have called me cheap
[00:42.89]But it's not that fucking deep
[00:45.65]Like, what's left for me but poetry
[00:49.63]And getting really old?
[00:51.63]
[00:51.63]I'm heading to California
[00:55.29]Don't say I didn't warn you
[00:57.92]I'm milking what I can from this grief
[01:03.37]I'm heading to California
[01:07.03]Don't say I didn't warn you
[01:09.59]I'm writing for the peace you wouldn't leave
[01:16.29]
[01:16.29]A cold call to get me out
[01:18.59]Of your big boys' starving artist's house
[01:21.48]But you drove me there and opened up the doors
[01:28.11]Now I trade in English, dear
[01:30.45]My nanny's nanny's nanny's fears
[01:33.35]Are living here along with all of yours, oh, yeah
[01:39.62]
[01:39.62]Whinging like a woman is
[01:42.17]Hedging on what's coming
[01:44.69]'Cause everybody likes me
[01:47.70]When my pain is in a sonnet
[01:50.57]And you can call me cheap
[01:53.13]But you did this shit to me
[01:56.07]Made me brilliant, you fucked me up
[01:59.57]And I'm reaping what you've sown
[02:01.93]
[02:01.93]I'm heading to California
[02:05.55]Don't say I didn't warn you
[02:08.15]I'm milking what I can from this grief
[02:13.59]I'm heading to California
[02:17.25]Don't say I didn't warn you
[02:19.86]I'm writing for the peace you wouldn't leave
[02:25.32]
[02:25.32]I'm heading to California
[02:28.96]Don't say I didn't warn you
[02:31.56]I'm finishing the hat like we agreed
[02:36.93]I'm heading to California
[02:40.64]I wonder, is it torture
[02:43.53]Harvesting all this misery?
[02:50.20]
[02:50.20]California, oh-woah
[02:55.99]California, oh-woah
[03:01.87]California, oh-woah (I'm writing up a book about us)
[03:07.70]California, oh-woah (They're gonna make a movie of it)
[03:13.58]California, oh-woah (They're gonna cast Jake Gyllenhaal)
[03:19.40]California, oh-woah (And I'm Kristen Schaal)
[03:25.28]California, oh-woah (They're gonna do it with a Coen brother)
[03:31.16]California, oh-woah (Set it in Wicklow with your mother)
[03:36.96]California, oh-woah (Oh no, it won a Razzie)
[03:42.86]California, oh-woah (It's all for nothing, should've just tried being happy)
[03:51.28]
