Lyrics
Go west
Paradise is there
You'll have all that you can eat
Of milk and honey over there
You'll be the brightest star the world has ever seen
Sun-baked slender heroine
Of film and magazine
Go west
Paradise is there
You'll have all that you can eat
Of milk and honey over there
You'll be the brightest light
The world has ever seen
The dizzy height of a jet-set life
You could never dream
Your pale blue eyes
Strawberry hair
Lips so sweet
Skin so fair
Your future bright
Beyond compare
It's rags to riches
Over there, ooh-ooh
San Andreas Fault
Moved its fingers through the ground
Earth divided
Plates collided
Such an awful sound
San Andreas Fault
Moved its fingers through the ground
Terracotta shattered
And the walls came tumbling down
Oh, promised land (oh, promised land)
Oh, wicked ground (wicked ground)
Build a dream
Tear it down
Oh, promised land (oh, promised land)
What a wicked ground (what a wicked ground)
Build a dream
Watch it all fall down
