California (Live at the Playroom)-Something For Kate

California - Something For Kate I'm all chalked out on the ground by the curtain call All of the sharp observations are a paper trail forty stories tall Where any conclusions might slip through my fingers As I'm listening to the story she's telling now It's a beautiful life It's a beautiful lie When it's late she's still talking about California Where the distance from the myth has never been greater From the sea to the boulevard stretching her arms to the desert It's a beautiful life Such a beautiful lie It's a beautiful life But she's leading me one step behind With a promise one day we'll arrive And if she ever runs out of California She's always got she's always got last summer In a state of mind with occasional tremors It's a beautiful life Under restless and fluroescent skies She's all coloured all into the lines lines lines lines lines It's a beautiful life And she's leading me one step behind With a promise one day we'll arrive One day we'll arrive one day we'll arrive When I get there I When I get there I I'm always one step behind
