California's Burning

California's burning, burning, burning to the ground
And my head is turning, turning, turning round and round, roundAlie's stomach's churning, churning like a storm today
And your mother's crying, crying, closing up the safe, safe
Closing up the safe, safeAnd I'm here, wondering where the sun has gone
Driving through to Mexico, asking why there's no one homeEncinitas likes to miss me like nobody's child
And my eyes like rainy Tuesdays like to watch you smile, smile
Like to watch you smile, smile
