California's coming, better beware sharpen your knives boys, cut your hair
It comes speed and steam bringing kings on life support
And the west comes falling with the sun so hold on tight your handguns
Got souls to sell, crowded like hell don't breathe the air

So kill like kings
The children of the blue-jean movement
The victim velvet revolution bleeds

A century of industry has all but raped the skyline
And the streets are long that lonesome hearts ride upon
And now your blood flows in reverse you're for a moment weightless
But the crowded sky still makes you climb for her

Hope (hope), Search (search) pull the corners from the earth
Till you've found a place to hide when the grave calls upon the sky

So kill like kings
The children of the blue-jean movement
The victim velvet revolution bleeds
And Steal like thieves
Steal your thoughts to windmills falling
The fault-line California's coming
Let it bleed
