California dreamer
Tell me why did you go
I carved your ever fading figure
In to the ever dying snow
I'll be around, I'll be around, I'll be around
Like a teenager in town
Where all the other young lovers are found
And I think I might have heard you on the radio
But the radio waves were like snow
And you were dreaming of Los Angeles
While I was singing songs you wrote
You quietly gave away the winter clothes I made for you
While I made angels in the snow
And I would have looked if you'd just asked me to
Or come to me before the preacher
Now you're a survivor
And I just thought I might have heard you on the radio
But the radio waves were like snow
I thought I might have heard you on the radio
But the radio waves were like snow
Until the young stay pretty, 'till the pretty stay quick
You know, but you never surrender
The city doesn't belong to you anymore
California dreamer
You dream of seasons that never die
You go to oceans that never touch the ice
You dream of seasons that never die
You go to oceans that never touch the ice
You dream of seasons that never die
You go to oceans that never touch the ice
Surrender this city to sender
Creatures getting younger and younger
And I think I might have heard you on the radio
But the radio waves were like snow
Oh I think I might have heard you on the radio
But the radio waves were like snow
Until the young stay pretty, 'till the pretty stay quick
You know, but you never surrender
The city doesn't belong to you anymore
California dreamer
I'll be around, I'll be around, I'll be around
Like a teenager in town
With all the other young lovers their mothers may have found

Review about California Dreamer I love this song as much as the one that inspired it | Reviewer: Sergio Zurita | 11/10/2008
This is a great song. Very original. It's an answer to The Mamas and the Papas' "California Dremin'"from the point of view of the woman who is abandoned by the man who leaves to California. There's a mysterious line from "California Dreamin'" -If I didn't tell her/ I could leave today- that triggered the Wolf Parade song, which is very enigmatic and psychedelic, and competes with the original in melancholy. And the lyrics are very, very beatufu. I think now I love both songs equally. And that's saying a lot.
