California's Burning (Under the Knife)

from The North Star by The Ivy League

/

lyrics

We rode our bikes through the streetlights.
We were headed down south for the shoreline.
Played games with waves as they passed by.
It was gonna be one of those late nights.

Are you out of your mind?
Livin’ under the knife.
It’s just a matter of time
Until these waves crash, until they c-c-crash!

Let’s burn this roof down, let’s burn this roof down.
This is a ghost town, this is a ghost town.

Long hair fall down to her waistline.
Late night downtown on the east side.
Dark sky, bright lights on the state line.
We fell asleep on the 109.

Are you out of your mind?
Livin’ under the knife.
It’s just a matter of time
Until these cars crash, until they c-c-crash!

Let’s burn this roof down, let’s burn this roof down.
This is a ghost town, this is a ghost town.

Are you out of your mind? (I swear I knew)
Livin’ under the knife. (I swear I knew)
I’m leaving.
Tell all your friends and strike up the band,
(Are you out of your mind? / I swear I knew)
We’ll all sit and stare as we watch California burn.
(Livin’ under the knife / I swear I knew)
I’m leaving.
