Yesterday In California

I hear the swell
Of the film score
Here in the dark
Hey, conductor
Cue the strings
And start the number
She left at midnight
But it’s still yesterday in California

I hear the squeal
The train brakes too late for
A full stop;
Hey, conductor
Pull the switch
And sound the alarm, yeah
She left at midnight
But it’s still yesterday in California

I smell the tar
On the hot road
Up in the hills
Where she shades go
She said, “When it comes
I won’t warn you,”
Shе left at midnight
But it’s still yesterday in California
