Rivers Cuomo
California Kids
[Verse 1]
When you wake up, cobwebs on your eyelids
Stuck in rigor mortis, woah-woah (Wake up)
Just get going 'til you hit the ocean
And you turn Californian, woah-woah
You don't have to have the answers
Don't you worry, don't you worry
[Chorus]
It's gonna be alright, if you're on a sinking ship (oo-wee-oo)
The California kids will throw you a lifeline
And if you're up all night thinking 'bout something you did (oo-wee-oo)
The California kids will show you the sunshine
[Verse 2]
In your bare feet in mid-January
Swimming in the mystery, woah-woah
Second-guessing almost everything
Don't you worry, don't you worry
[Chorus]
It's gonna be alright, if you're on a sinking ship (oo-wee-oo)
The California kids will throw you a lifeline
And if you're up all night thinking 'bout something you did (oo-wee-oo)
The California kids will show you the starlight
[Verse 3]
All your old friends chilling back in Boston
You never forgot them, woah-woah
[Chorus]
It's gonna be alright, if you're on a sinking ship (oo-wee-oo)
The California kids will throw you a lifeline
And if you're up all night thinking 'bout something you did (oo-wee-oo)
The California kids will show you the sunshine
The California kids will show you the starlight
