the calendar says june but it's really mid-july
the only thing that means to you is that another year's gone by
i know nothing's changed, i know nothing's new
you say the only sign of life you see is a faded tattoo

do you remember ever feeling alive
california angels
tell me, are you feeling alright to drive
california angels

hanging out in parking lots trying to get high
summer nights and taxi cabs always pass us by
i know nothings good and i know it's all been said
but you're writing a new ending for a book you've never read

(repeat chorus)

i thought i'd live forever but now i'm not so sure
years and years of scraping by have brought me to your door
and ever though your sleeping, i know it's getting late
i need to let you know you need to let me fade away

i know nothing's good and i know it's all been said
but you're writing a new ending for a book you never read

(repeat chorus)
