lyrics

SCENT OF CALIFORNIA

wake up many a morning, feelin’ outta place
I have you in my heart, but you're six-thousand miles away
I take it you're not lonely, that you do well without me
after all you are the princess, they call you the Golden State

the scent of California in my nose
every pore and every fuckin' hole
I know you meant no harm
with your charm

wish I could glide along your shore, the sunlight dancing on your waves
from Oregon to Mexico have been a woven many tales
you're my monument of freedom, crowned by the western sun
and in the long shadows you cast, I write you love letters and songs

the scent of California in my nose
chasing me all around the globe
I know you meant no harm
with your charm

I sit here in the sun and I close my eyes
smell the memories, bittersweet sacrifice
just one of many lovers, well, such is my fate
after all my precious queen, you showed me the golden gates

the rent in california is a joke
in every corner lurking a roach
I know you meant no harm
with your charm

out here in the desert, tears are quick to dry
you may have heard me but never seen me cry
I thought I was your golden boy but you kiss everyone with tongue
still you're my favourite place where I'll never belong

I love you California and you know (...the scent of California)
that I could never ever let you go (...oooh it will haunt ya)
and when someday I'll ride through the pearly gates (...the scent of California)
only with a California license plate (it will haunt ya)

we love you California, yes we do

about

TANTRIC CYCLE image

TANTRIC CYCLE Los Angeles, California

"TANTRIC CYCLE are exactly the type of flat out rock and roll we need nowadays. The Austrian rockers take no prisoners, and nor should they. In an era where you are more likely to come across watered down nonsense within a click of a radio dial,these boys are here to save the day. A promising glimpse of pounding bass, murderous guitars and high octane." -Pete Angell / Black Velvet Magazine UK ... more
