The Nightwatchman - California s Dark lyrics

<b>California's Dark</b> by <i>The Nightwatchman</i><br />

It started in basements

And it started in sheds

It started in backyards

And was hidden under beds

I turned on the t.v.

Don't believe a word they say

We can't stay here now love

And we can't get away

There's a riot on sunset

And fires burn in the park

The sun is set my friend

And California's dark

And over the screaming

I heard a clear voice

I looked at my choices

Yeah, and I made a choice

Smoke and ashes

Tonight, hide the stars

The stop lights are red now love

We've come for what's ours

Come stand among the rattlesnakes

At the side of the desert ruin

And close your eyes and listen

To the music hard and cold

Tonight the moon is blackened

Tonight the doors are shut

Behind the shuttered windows

We pray that the sun will come up

For something walks across these fields

For which there is no name

Now you might have heard different sonny

But I was there when it came

It'll start with a spark

And a great fire will grow

Don't know how I know it, man

Yeah, but I just know

There's a riot on sunset

And fires burn in the park

The sun sets everywhere

And the whole damn country's done

Yeah

There's a riot on sunset

And fires burnin in the park

The sun is set my friend

And California's dark
