All the gold in California is in a bank in the middle
Of Beverly Hills, in somebody else’s name,
So if you’re dreamin’ about California,
It don’t matter at all where you played before,
California’s a brand new game,
Trying to be a hero, winding up a zero,
Can scar a man forever, right down to your soul,
Living on the spotlight, can kill a man outright,
‘Cause everything that glitters is not gold,
All the gold in California is in a bank in the middle
Of Beverly Hills, in somebody else’s name,
So if you’re dreamin’ about California,
It don’t matter at all where you played before,
California’s a brand new game,
Trying to be a hero, winding up a zero,
Can scar a man forever, right down to your soul,
Living on the spotlight, can kill a man outright,
‘Cause everything that glitters is not gold,
All the gold in California is in a bank in the middle
Of Beverly Hills, in somebody else’s name,
So if you’re dreamin’ about California,
It don’t matter at all where you played before,
California’s a brand new game. |
