It's the blue mist rising It's the cracked leather seat It's the blacktop summer It's the razor-sharp heat It's the picture plastic perfect Virgin Mary on her knees It's the crack rock city It's the people without wings
It's the only place that gets me high I seen the Sun come up a thousand times Got you begging me to end it, but I just can't stop Got me staring at the lines until they drop
It's just another day in paradise It's just another day in California Been getting used to living on the edge of life We try to numb the sky and blurry the world away
It's the palm trees burning It's the drip from the sink It's the cherry chrome psychic with that cellophane sting It's that liquor store religion when you gotta get the Jinx It's the roof top open It's your body on the brink
We choose to run We're broken like cracks into the ground Yeah, when you live in the Sun You blurry the world to get away
It's just another day in paradise It's just another day in California Been getting used to living on the edge of life We try to numb the sky and blurry the world away It's just another day in paradise
There's gotta be Somewhere There's gotta be Something more To give, to feel alive while we suffer And blurry the world away It's just another day of falling hard It's just another day of counting scars We've fallen apart
It's just another day in paradise It's just another day in California Been getting used to living on the edge of life We try to numb the sky and blurry the world away It's just another day in paradise It's just another day
