lyrics

It’s cold in the Golden State
I’m in a slumber set in summer ‘88

We crashed the Bonaventure into Little Tokyo
Hammer on the headphones in full stereo

Fall in an altered state
I’m a scream queen back in 1978

We crashed the after-party, we trashed the bungalow
Blondie on the boombox in full stereo

Oh California, if you need a golden child
It's not bad to be the good guy once in a while

Winter on the interstate
Were you drinking in a Lincoln ‘68

You crashed the Continental in little Tokyo
Honey on the hi-fi in full stereo

They call it the solid state
But in the meantime we’ll call it springtime ‘88

When we crashed the Bonaventure Nakatomi style
It’s good to be the bad guy once in a while

The music barely captures the joy of seeing them live. What makes them great is hearing the friendship between them and being reminded that you can create art as well. Ballantyne9k
