California Dreamers

In the corner, burning bright
She's gonna fall in love tonight
And now...it's a sad story
Switch the channel and settle in
And let the great escape begin
And why?
The lady won't cry

'Cause the California Dreamers
Can't afford to let it show
California Dreamers
Just don't want you to know

And old flame that flickers blue
He still casts a spell on you
Tonight...it's a sad, sad story
They seem so real, why don't they call?
Beats not having friends at all
She'll sigh
But the lady won't cry

'Cause the California Dreamers...

In a million homes tonight
They're still loving by satellite
And now...it's a sad, sad story
And dreamy-eyed she drifts away
As white noise ends our viewing day
And why?
The lady won't cry
