She thinks Im much too thin
She asks me if Im sick
Whats a girl to do
With friends like this
She lets me drive her car
So I can score an eighth
From the lesbians
Out west in Venice

Oh, California in the Summer
Ah, and my hair is growing long
Fuck yeah, we can live like this

But if you left it up to me
Everyday would be
A holiday from real
Wed waste our weeks
Beneath the sun
Wed fry our brains
And say its so much fun out here
But when its all over
Ill come back for another year

Ill look for work today
Im spilling out the door
Put my glasses on
So no one sees me
I never thought that
Id be living on your floor
But the rents are high
And LAs easy

Oh, its a picture of perfection
Ah, and the postcards gonna read
"Fuck yeah we can live like this...
We can live like this"

But if you left it up to me
Everyday would be
A holiday from real
Wed waste our weeks
Beneath the sun
Wed fry our brains
And write its so much fun out here

Hey Madeline (hey Madeline)
You sure look fine (you sure look fine)
You wore my favorite sweater
Being poor was never better
A safety buzz (A safety buzz)
Some cheap red wine (Some cheap red wine)
Oh, the trouble we can get in
So lets screw this one up right

But if you left it up to me
Everyday would be
A holiday from real
Wed waste our weeks
Beneath the sun
Wed lie and tell our friends
Its so much fun out here
But when its all over
Ill come back for another year

When its all over
Ill come back for another
When its all over
Ill come back for another year
