The rocket ships of La Jolla are waiting to blast away, blast away
Away for adventure, a trip of a lifetime of discovery
And you are the captain, going without meCalifornia
California
CaliforniaCalifornia drive-by, shooting film from the car
Church by the road like rockets pointing at the stars
How did we get here, what on earth went wrong?
Leave the earth on a rocket ship if you feel you don't belongIt's just an idle dream, a fantasy
But I'll tell you something
A dream was good enough for meThe rocket ships of La Jolla are waiting to blast away, blast away
Away for adventure, a trip of a lifetime of discovery
And you are the captain, going without meCalifornia sunshine, north London rain
The same sky that launched them both will welcome you again
A house of devotion, more than it seems?Fool myself with appearances
If you know what I meanIt's just an idle dream, a fantasy
But I'll tell you something
A dream was good enough for meSo what the hell is wrong with fantasy?
A dream was good enough for me
(Good enough)The rocket ships of La Jolla are waiting to blast away, blast away
Away for adventure, a trip of a lifetime of discovery
The rocket ships of La Jolla are waiting to blast away, blast away
Away for adventure, a trip of a lifetime of discovery
And you are the captain
