Lyrics
California was a friend of mine
Til she tumbled into the sea
Her suicide note was a very long novel
Addressed only to me
It said: I made your glamour
I made your movies
I made garage rock
Expensive smoothies
And every teen star that I see turned into a whore
I don't wanna be the machine no more
California was a friend of mine
But she changed after the Gold Rush
She kind of lost the twinkle in her eye
And Joni sang "we're all stardust"
She played that record
On repeat
A million years of losing sleep
And every dream that makes us feel all right
Wash em clean
And its just pyrite
Fool's gold
Fool's gold
All I ever find is fool's gold
Make it sparkle
Make it shine
All true colors show in time
California was a friend of mine
But she moved to New York City
Where no ones business is clandestine
And Seward Parks so gritty
She dated an artist
Who used oil paint
She dated a rocker
She went insane
If you find god
If you get clean
It doesn't stop you
From being mean
Fool's gold
Fool's gold
I thought I found love
It was fool's gold
Make it sparkle
Make it shine
All true colors show in time
California was a friend of mine
Heard she ended up on the street
No rolling hills
No Hollywood sign
Can save you from defeat
She did your dope
She crashed your parties
A velvet rope
Divides our bodies
You stay North of Hester
I got Chinatown
Can we both fit
In this little town
Fool's gold
Fool's gold
I thought I found love
it was Fool's gold
Make it sparkle
Make it shine
You go your way
I'll go mine
