Pretty People

Traveled west on an eastern heartache
Lost touch with the reason
Found another trend that I could break
To feel more like myself

Saw the waters where they drown their sorrow
Pacific lovers in motion
They keep on talkin bout tomorrow
Tomorrow never comes

California dreaming may just be a feeling
When everything is out of reach
All the pretty people are looking pretty equal now

The stars burn bright outside the city limits
Where the canyons are empty
Lonely nights lit by lonely companions
In a sweetness and release

I thought I saw you hiding in the shadow
But you were holding the answer
While everybody's talking
Talking bout themselves

California dreaming may just be a feeling
When everything is out of reach
All the pretty people are looking pretty equal now
All the pretty people are floating like they won't come down

You always wait for the dust to settle
Before you tell me you miss me
