The Rocket Ships Of La Jolla

The rocket ships of La Jolla are waiting to blast away, blast away

Away for adventure, a trip of a lifetime of discovery

And you are the captain, going without me

California

California

California

California drive-by, shooting film from the car

Church by the road like rockets pointing at the stars

How did we get here, what on earth went wrong?

Leave the earth on a rocket ship if you feel you don't belong

It's just an idle dream, a fantasy

But I'll tell you something

A dream was good enough for me

The rocket ships of La Jolla are waiting to blast away, blast away

Away for adventure, a trip of a lifetime of discovery

And you are the captain, going without me

California sunshine, north London rain

The same sky that launched them both will welcome you again

A house of devotion, more than it seems?

Fool myself with appearances

If you know what I mean

It's just an idle dream, a fantasy

But I'll tell you something

A dream was good enough for me

So what the hell is wrong with fantasy?

A dream was good enough for me

(Good enough)

The rocket ships of La Jolla are waiting to blast away, blast away

Away for adventure, a trip of a lifetime of discovery

The rocket ships of La Jolla are waiting to blast away, blast away

Away for adventure, a trip of a lifetime of discovery

And you are the captain
