california's burning, burning   burning to the ground   and my head is turning, turning   turning round and round, round   alie's stomach's churning, churning   like a storm today   and your mother's crying, crying   closing up the safe, safe   closing up the safe, safe      and i'm here, wondering where the sun has gone   driving through a midwest storm,   asking why there's no one home      encinitas likes to miss me, like nobody's child   and my eyes like rainy tuesdays   like to watch you smile, smile   like to watch you smile, smile      and i'm here, wondering where the sun has gone   driving through a midwest storm,   asking why there's no one home
