Blue skies have chases me, away from a simple life
Now I'm eating paper that's tasting funny
Out here in complicated
California
California
Slow, down, good times
Slow, down, good time
A cigarette and tea is all I had to eat
A metal band at scream was all I heard for weeks
Man this ain't easy, but I wish all my friends could see me?
In California
California
Slow, down, good times
Slow, down, good times
Leaving with a clear mid,
I didn't wait on my graduation
Good friends, young times
Its all part of the shot we?re taking
Slow, down, good times
Slow, down, good times
California
California

    Omen is spot on here.

    Chris Shinn - Vocals Brad Smith - Bass Dave Krusen - Drums Christopher Thorn - Guitar

    Regarding the meaning of the song, it probably refers to the members experience of moving to California.

    PS. You have to love that riff/hook going on.

    who are these guys? someone told me it was a collaboration between pearl jam and blind melon (including the late Shannon Hoon). I'm not so sure but does anybody know?
