California Emptiness

Sleeping on the couch
No car, the money's all run out
Fresh out of neat little white pills
Only the ones that make her heart still

Beating oh so still
As she awakes to find:

[Chorus]
California emptiness won't wait
Darkness seething on a summer day
California emptiness for sure
Baby's hiding out behind the door

Wealthy doctor's home
Spotless, with bleach and ammonia
Crimson, cradled upon the stems
Fertility, nothing can save them

Surrogate, but still
She's left alone to find:

[Chorus]
California emptiness won't wait
Darkness seething on a summer day
California еmptiness for sure
Baby's hiding out behind thе door
