lyrics

I'm a leavin
don't even know
where i came from
guess I'm cheatin
starting on the highest rung
i lived this fable
California on my mind
was young and able
and set apart to walk these lines

I'm not getting older
like the smoke watch me as i smolder
in axis floating like these ashes
slave to nothing always wanting more

thus ends the golden age
each day's a setting stage
there's nothing left to say
dreaming my life away

i told my story
you know i etched it in my bones
spellbound for glory
outside the box these catacombs
sprawling wastelands
but only one that I'll call home
this shattered Graceland
a piece of time that I've been shown

though I'm not getting any wiser
my mind it spindles like a spider
this misery you know she loves my company
but I'll no longer lay down beside her

thus ends the golden age
each day's a turning page
there's nothing left to say
dreaming my life away

i can't make up mind
I'm seeing stars in the signs
of the times
i might sink with the sun
no more tears
what is done is done
i am trying to get back
to all the pieces that i left
scattered across this land
like the driftwood in the sand

I'm not getting any power
all my attachments they leave me like the hours
I'm going to where the mountains
sleep atop the ocean
I'm going to find my freedom
as i lay upon those shores

thus ends the golden age
each day these anthems fade
there's nothing left to say
dreaming my life away

it's sometimes cryptic
the way our weathered hands are worn
our paths they twisted
and led us back into the storm
permanent vacation
freedom from the ties that bind
lost in translation
California on my mind
