California Numb lyrics

[Verse 1]

Never get to bed

'cause the city's too loud, loud

It can break the bank

And run you out of town, town

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm just a face in the crowd

We took a life for a ride

I'm California numb, damaged by the sun

If you could only see me now

You can hear the punchline

That I don't like my face

Or how I'm turning out

[Chorus]

How I'm turning out

How I'm turning

I am in over my head, how I'm turning

How I'm turning out

[Verse 2]

They said change your name

It's the price you paid down

And I don't wanna hand out

Hey, hey

She's a beautiful waste

And I will be afraid now

Maybe it'll work out

Hey, hey

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm just a face in the crowd

We took a life for a ride

I'm California numb, and I'm damaged by the sun

If you could only see me now

You can hear the punchline

That I don't like my face

Or how I'm turning out

[Chorus]

How I'm turning out

How I'm turning

I am over my head, how I'm turning

How I'm turning out

[Verse 3]

At nights, I'm still awake

And no, It's never going away

To wash the streets clean of blood

Played you the jury and the judge

All I wanted was a taste

And nothing's ever worth the wait

Will I ever get that flight?

I thought I was only staying for the night

[Outro]

I am in over my head

Or how I'm turning

No, I don't like my face

Or how I'm turning out

How I'm turning out

How I'm turning

I can't get over my head

How I'm turning out

How I'm turning out
