The rocket ships of La Jolla are waiting to blast away, blast away
Away for adventure, a trip of a lifetime of discovery
And you are the captain, going without me
(California)
(California)
(California)
California drive-by, shooting film from the car
Church by the road like rockets pointing at the stars
How did we get here, what on earth went wrong?
Leave the earth on a rocket ship if you feel you don't belong
It's just an idle dream, a fantasy, but I'll tell you something
A dream was good enough for me
The rocket ships of La Jolla are waiting to blast away, blast away
Away for adventure, a trip of a lifetime of discovery
And you are the captain, going without me
California sunshine, north London rain
The same sky that launched them both will welcome you again
A house of devotion, more than it seems?
Fool myself with appearances
If you know what I mean
It's just an idle dream, a fantasy, but I'll tell you something
A dream was good enough for me
So what the hell is wrong with fantasy?
A dream was good enough (good enough) for me
The rocket ships of La Jolla are waiting to blast away, blast away
Away for adventure, a trip of a lifetime of discovery
The rocket ships of La Jolla are waiting to blast away, blast away
Away for adventure, a trip of a lifetime of discovery
And you are the captain
