i got a one way ticket
cause i weren’t coming back no more
did my atlantic crossing
signed the deal and sold my soul
my mind was set on big times
riding high in la la land
i never felt the rip tide
of cocaine drag me down
down and out in california
desolation boulevard
scandinavia
(i hear your call)
soon i was running on empty
i was going nowhere fast
now satan wanted my soul back
he said: your time to shine has passed
down and out in california
desolation boulevard
scandinavia
(i hear your call)
gave it all to california
as she tore my soul apart
scandinavia
i fell for california
and all the promises she made
i gave it all away
and now i’m too proud to see i’ve failed
