Early in the morning,
I was walking down the road
Stranger in the city,
stranger on my own
Searchin' for somebody
to ease my pain
Searchin' everywhere,
searchin' for a brand new day
Lookin' in the window,
lookin' through the doors
Lookin' through back alleys, baby
And I'm hopin' that it's yours
Lookin' for somebody
To use my name
Searchin' everywhere
Searchin' for a brand new day
Because I'm living inside a circle
And I can't find my way home
And no one gets me screamed
No one gets me shot
Get all runnin' out of ideas
And I'm runnin' out of time
I'm searchin' for a new world
Don't let me die
I'm lookin' for adventure
Hey, come on, baby, give me all you got
I'm looking for a love affair
Oh, she's got to be real hot
Little girl, if you'll help me
To ease my pain
I've been searching everywhere
Searching for a brand new day, yeah
All right, baby
And I can't find my way out
And nobody gets me straight
And I'm out of pain
I'm searching for a new world
Down at the end of the line
Moving down the freeway
Running down that bridge
I'm a dead man to the city
I'm a sky to the sea
Yeah, yes, they call me the rider
Cause I'm on my way
Tryin' to find another dream
And searchin' for a brand new day
I've been searchin' everywhere
Searchin' for a brand new day, yeah
Now that I found you
Call myself a brand new day
Baby, don't let me die
At last, I've reached the west coast
the very edge of civilization.
Not only had I travelled miles,
it seemed, I'd travelled in time.
And when a friend of mine said,
I'm leaving, for good.
I'm tired of the dance.
My answer was, well,
I think I'll hang around for the apocalypse.
Goodbye, California.
Goodbye.
