I called Jesus but he didn't check his phone today,

Oh oh, there's my summer girl

 I've been wanting her

 I hear she's got a boyfriend

Thought I could leave her for a season but it just got cold

 Yeah, it's a lonely hour in my cellphone tower,

 Broken down transmission.

But I'm gonna take you to my boxcar on the beach

And I'm gonna hang the sun above your bed

 And soak your hair in bleach

 You'll be missed, Miss California

 You'll be kissed by only me

 When they can't find you you'll turn into a mystery

 But you're no mystery to me, Miss California

I called Jesus but he heard I hurt his little girl, yeah,

 with my reckless stare, I've been so unfair

 Misplacing my affections

She had a reason not to take me back into her care

 Oh, I'm just a stray dog now, I can't beg or bow

 Just give me some direction.

And I'm gonna take you to the mansion where I hide

and I'm gonna paint a diamond on your hand

 And you will be my bride

 You'll be missed, Miss California

 You'll be kissed by only me

 When they can't find you you'll turn into a mystery

 But you're no mystery to me, Miss California

 Miss California

 I'll be around, I'll be around.

 You'll be missed, Miss California

 You'll be kissed by only me

 When they can't find you you'll turn into a mystery

 But not to me.

 You'll be missed Miss California

 We'll be married in the rain

 When they can't find you I'm sure I'll be the one they blame

 But they can't prove anything

 Miss California

 Miss California

 I'll be around

 Whoa...
