80s runaway kid with scrunchies in her
Recently bleached out hair
She’s everybody’s best friend
Pressing on the pedals, speeding through the
Streets that she grew up in
But keeps coming back to, searching
Oh oh oh, her libretto’s darker than the cover shows
Oh I said, Oh oh oh, she’s so out of reach, she’s unattainable
Sunglasses on and she’s on her way to the
Poster child of California
(Never seen her eyes, but you still know her)
She’s the perfect child of California
(Careful 'cause her force will captivate ya)
Nomad of the old world she sets the world ablaze
Deep down still gets scared, but she's determined to amaze
Fighting for what's right she’s standing up for change
Real big hair and big dreams, always go hand in hand
Oh oh oh, her libretto’s darker than the cover shows
Oh I said, Oh oh oh, she’s so out of reach, she’s unattainable
Sunglasses on and she’s on her way to the
Poster child of California
(Never seen her eyes, but you still know her)
She’s the perfect child of California
(Careful 'cause her force will captivate ya)
And every wave that hits the shore
Reminds her of the days before
When Sun rays twirled around her hair
The wind blew worries through the air
All grown up, still walks the same beaches
The footsteps are gone, but child still teaches
This life may not be poster perfect
But she sure is lucky when you scratch the surface
Poster child of California
(Never seen her eyes, but you still know her)
She’s the perfect child of California
(Careful 'cause her force will captivate ya)
