[Verse 1]

Ever since you were born you've been dying

Every day a little more you've been dying

Dying to reach the setting sun

[Verse 2]

As a child, with your mind on the horizon

Over corpses, to the prize you kept your eyes on

Trying to be the chosen one

[Pre-Chorus]

All those things that you desire

You will find here in the fire

[Chorus]

Come on, Frisco!

Put your hands up and reach for the sky

Cry for absolution

You'll be down on your knees and you'll cry

Cry for absolution

Uh

[Verse 3]

[?]Give it up bay[?]

Even now when you're here you are moving

Hysterically seeking out what needs improving

And you're still asking for the sun

[Pre-Chorus]

All those things that you desire

You will find here in the fire

[Chorus]

California

Put your hands up and reach for the sky

Cry for absolution

You'll be down on your knees and you'll cry

Cry for absolution

[Refrain]

Alright, 'Frisco I wanna hear you scream, well that was a sucky scream, don’t you think?

I wanna hear all of you screaming now

Ladies and gentleman, scream!

[Guitar Solo]

San Francisco, are you ready?

[Outro]

Put your hands up and reach for the sky

Cry for absolution

You'll be down on your knees and you'll cry

Cry for absolution

Put your hands up and reach for the sky

Cry for absolution

You'll be down on your knees and you'll cry

Cry for absolution
