California – Lyrics

I’m a young super villain
Just outta reach
Standin’ on top of the ceilin’ like
Fuck the police
If there’s any way outta here
Baby, it’s with me
Any where else but here
I’ll take ya down to…

California

I hit the road just before night fall, somethin’ like a Nighthawk
My French Connection went and hit me on that night call
Now we got that Bob Dylan spillin’ through the speakers
As we escape our Midwest fates for brighter beaches
I got demons, I got secrets, ran outta places to keep’em
So I threw’em in the trunk picked up the Mrs: Mission 1 Completed
I got an appetite for evil, impulse, ignorin’ detours,
And pushin’ my luck in this V4

Now they been waitin’ for me, they kept a clean cell
But I know the sequel they sellin’, baby I seen hell
Holdin’ back in a holdin’ pattern, another cog in a wheel well
So I packed a Golden Axe and Black D12
Return of the Mac, back with Wylie and highly illegal
Steerin’ Starships in the lane with Jonny Rico
It’s all we know: Hell Fire, Glory and Freedom
I’m walkin’ through one for the other two of my people, because

I’m a young super villain
Just outta reach
Standin’ on top of the ceilin’ like
Fuck the police
If there’s any way outta here
Baby, it’s with me
Any where else but here
I’ll take ya down to…

California

New drugs, old flame. Still walkin’ on water
Witnessed a dealer, I gambled my heart in an old barter
But my soul to keep, although the snow is slow to leave
I learned to withhold emotions where it’s too cold to weep
Dark got darker, while the tongues grew sharper
Coincidence left the buildin’ like a bat outta hell’s harbor
I’m a natural born target, marketed as a monster
Shape shiftin’ and code switchin’ to speakin’ the kings’ proper

I’m like a young Alan Rickman steppin’ off the chopper
With grand designs, struttin’ through the Nakatomi Plaza
Eyes on the skyline on a night of lies and bright lights
Where they advertise a life you could only live with high crimes
I’m not answerin’ to them, when, or how
I’m alive, so this is happenin’ now
No time to think about what should or could’ve went down
Both hands on my world, pushin’ 88 outta town

I’m a young super villain
Just outta reach
Standin’ on top of the ceilin’ like
Fuck the police
If there’s any way outta here
Baby, it’s with me
Any where else but here
I’ll take ya down to…
