Sweet taste of your Hollywood coke
Got a sweet taste of your lips
What's a matter with you baby
Can't you get your kicks
Another suicide in an LA style
Another dead star home
Don't you know when the heat is on
Baby you're on your own?

California
I really need ya, I really need ya
California
I really need ya vibe, I really need ya

It's freedom that they're looking for
And it's freedom that they sell
Whatcha want pretty sunset baby
You know I can tell
Someone's got it in an overnight
Someone's got an OD
Don't you know when they think you're done
Baby nothing's for free

California
I really need ya, I really need ya
California
I really need ya, I really need ya
California
I really need ya, babe, I really need ya
California
I really need ya vibe, I really need ya

Nightstalker in a traffic jam
When the heat is on
Palm trees of Venice
Don't you change that song

California
I really need ya, I really need ya
California
I really need ya, I really need ya
California
I really need ya, babe, I really need ya
California
I really need ya, I really need ya

California
I really need ya, I really need ya
California
Baby, I need ya
