California (pronounced i/kælɨˈfɔrnjə/) is a state located on the West Coast of the United States. It is by far the most populous U.S. state, and the third most extensive (after Alaska and Texas). It is home to the nation's second- and sixth-largest census statistical areas (Los Angeles Metropolitan Area and San Francisco Bay Area), and eight of the nation's fifty most populated cities (Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, San Francisco, Fresno, Sacramento, Long Beach and Oakland). The capital city is Sacramento.
California's diverse geography ranges from the Pacific Coast in the west, to the Sierra Nevada mountains in the east – from the Redwood–Douglas-fir forests of the northwest, to the Mojave Desert areas in the southeast. The center of the state is dominated by Central Valley, a major agricultural area. California contains both the highest and lowest points in the contiguous United States (Mount Whitney and Death Valley), and has the third-longest coastline of all states (after Alaska and Florida). Earthquakes are a common occurrence due to the state's location along the Pacific Ring of Fire: about 37,000 are recorded annually.
I cover myself in water
the pearls are good for me
staying resting on the seaside, resting
the air is good to breathe
clear sky, clear from trouble
this day's meant for me
this day's mine without worries
four o'clock in the morning, walking
singing songs meant just for me
and the full moon lights the night
pale jungle comes to life
by the shooting star I wish
this to last forever on
at a shooting star I wish
this to last forever on
hey sister, won't you count on me
I will never leave until the day I do
hey sister, won't you come with me
there's so much to see, I'll show you all
in the morning breeze, still walking
here's another day
in the boiling midday sun
I hide in the shades to get some rest
and the taste of you and vodka
still here since yesterday
human salt, seasalt in good mixture
making out, making love tonight
four o'clock in the morning, walking
singing songs meant just for you
and the full moon lights the night
your pale eyes comes to life
by the shooting star we wish
this to last forever on
at a shooting star we wish
this to last forever on
hey sister, won't you count on me
I will never leave until the day I do
hey sister, won't you come with me
there's so much to see, I'll show you all
hey sister, won't you come with me
I will never leave until the day I do
hey sister, won't you count on me
I will never leave until the day I
