He caught her signal
   As she strolled in the bar
   Amidst all the lonely people
   Out to prove they're popular
   And he came upon her slowly
   Not sure of what to say
   Trying to sound clever - but words got in the way
  
   Conversation wandered -
   Though their eyes seldom met
   They both knew what they were after
   And they played it step by step
   And his mind was getting foggy
   The drinks were coming fast
   Momentary friendship - with no future and no past
  
   Chorus:
   All alone in California
   Looking for some fun
   His eyes were feeling heaving
   He kind of wished that he could run
   The colours started spinning
   As she kissed away his doubts
   The night was just beginning
   As his body began to melt…
  
   She watched the sunrise
   While he slept in dreams unknown
   And she wondered what his name was
   Though she barely knew her own
   And she slowly started crying
   Though she wasn't white sure why
   Trying to fight an emptiness
   That haunted her insides.
  
   Repeat Chorus
