Well, I guess you were right about the dream

Ain't it sad things are never what they seem

Like a promise that you make but never mean

A shadow of the things you've never seen

California is sunny all year 'round

Makes it easy to keep on hangin' 'round

And you dreams are like a weight

That pulls you down

You got to get you feet back on the ground

Ain't it past time

That you got wise

Get that stardust out of your eyes

Take a look of what you're doin'

What are you thinkin' of

What about all the things you love

Can't you see the damage that you're doin'

All the sweet talk and promises you hear

Keep you hopin' the dream might still appear

But your hopes keep getting fainter every year

And the voices start to whisper in your ear
