Smokey room and a thin blue light
Her arms were pale as white
Trying to outlast the night

Howlin' at the moon

Living in the canyon then

Hangdown Hanna and Whiskey Jim
Dirty jeans and mudslide hymns
That all began with soon


[Chorus:]
So Adios to California

Nothing to do but turn around
Always thought there's someone comin' for ya
Only way you'd leave this town


Pasadena in the rain
Eatin' donuts and readin' Twain

How much longer can my brain
Set itself on fire?


You said "That's it for me"
Have a little faith, it might set you free
But your faith is no good, you see

For me and my desire

[Chorus]


Two cigarettes from the package gone
You must have thought about it just that long

I never knew you were so strong
I guess I never will


[Chorus]
