Withered Hand - California lyrics

[Verse 1] After the longest night Stepping out into a new daylight Beer ice cold in my hand Like I'm on my way Like I had plenty not to talk about Stop in for a burger at the In-n-Out Waiting in line for the prophecy How we took our turn to be strung out like some powder in a bag of skin Last night I coulda sworn I was dying Cicadas singing at my window Signs proclaim the end is nigh But not tonight [Chorus] In California I keep sippin on the tussin like I'm sick again Ooh white light white heat all night heart beating in my chest like a kettle drum California I keep sippin on the tussin like I'm sick again Ooh white light white heat all night heart beating in my chest like a jackhammer [Verse 2] What of the unfinished symphonies, the immigration infamies My head rings like the liberty bell Sweating like a winner on a hot day Sinner say what, say you nothing if you've nothing to sell Every time I open up my mealy mouth This tiny wee sound comes out and I'm spitting it out into the doubt I hear my heart like a back-beat Like something incomplete, no midnight choir No love over desire [Chorus] In California I keep sippin on the tussin like I'm sick again Ooh white light white heat all night heart beating in my chest like a kettle drum California I keep sippin on the tussin like I'm sick again Ooh white light white heat all night heart beating in my chest like a jackhammer California I keep sippin on the tussin like I'm sick again Ooh white light white heat all night heart beating in my chest like a kettle drum California I keep sippin on the tussin like I'm sick again Ooh white light white heat all night heart beating in my chest like a jackhammer
