California Lyrics - Feeling Strangely Fine - Semisonic

Driven through the canyons 

I was dazzled by the mountains and we didn't go very far 

Close enough to heaven 

If you climb up on a mansion you too can swing like a star 

I tried to get inside I bought a ticket with my pride 

And I was gone right out of my head 

I went out for a ride to go across a great divide 

And I ended up at home instead 

California 

I thought I should see 

Now I'm back home, yeah 

With twelve little pieces of me 

I was just a passenger a rider on the tremors 

That were shaking all our beds at night 

A visitor a stranger thought I might pass 

For a regular if I just kept out of the lights 

I tore my heart out from my chest 

Mixed it up in my mind with the best freshest pieces of my soul 

Chose the ones I loved the most 

Drove them all down to the coast threw them in a big black hole 

California 

I thought I should see 

Now I'm back home, yeah 

With twelve little pieces of me 

California 

I dreamed I would find 

Some kinda sorta pick-me-up 

I got twelve little pieces of my mind 

California 

I thought I should see 

Now I'm back home, yeah 

With twelve little pieces of me 

California 

I dreamed I would find 

Some kinda sorta pick-me-up 

I got twelve little pieces of my mind 

Twelve little pieces of my mind 

Twelve little pieces of my mind 

Twelve little pieces of my mind
