Your father hated me While your mother disapproved They set, set all the rules That you never listened to Yeah you never listened to I was your escape, your getaway So send me off to hell, I prefer the warm weather And my passion speaks for itself, for itself No I wouldn’t have it any other way
Jesus Christ we were such great sinners And I love, love that On that empty, empty California, empty California winters We should know how to live We should know how to live We should know how to live We should know, how to live Cause I feel so alive Yes I feel so alive Where others would feel so dead
So you can nail me up, you can crucify me Girl I’m bad, at least I pushed the limits At least you can say I lived it At least you can say I lived it I was never the one to hold my breath Never the one to bite my tongue And after all of the critics I’ll be the backer I’ll take the burden for the person you’ve become
And Jesus Christ we were such great sinners And I love, love that On that empty, empty California, empty California winters We should know how to live We should know how to live We should know how to live We should know, how to live Cause I feel so alive Yes I feel so alive Where others would feel so dead (feel so, feel so dead) So dead So dead So dead So dead So dead SOOOOOOOOO
I’ll take the burden, take the burden, take the burden I’ll bear the cross, bear the cross, bear the cross I’ll take the burden, take the burden, take the burden I’ll bear the cross, bear the cross, bear the cross I’ll take the burden, take the burden, take the burden I’ll bear the cross, bear the cross, bear the cross I’ll take the burden, take the burden, take the burden I’ll bear the cross, bear the cross, bear the cross
