I'm going to California
turn the corner turn the key
unlock the secret garden
and throw away the key
Don't care how long it takes me
don't care what I have to do
crawl across the great divide
just to get back to you
My God, how did it come to this
wallowing in my own pit
some birds that sing had to sacrifice
their wings
can you save me
save me from myself
I'm going to California
let the sun melt down my heart
there'll be no fighting crying
no more stumbling in the dark
and when all of the king's horses
and all of the king's men
come to visit me in California
well, I'll gladly let them in
My God, how did it come to this
wallowing in my own pit
some birds that sing had to sacrifice
their wings
can you save me
can you save me
can you save me
save me from myself
I'm going to California
turn the corner turn the key
unlock the secret garden
and throw away the key
