Rose City Blues

The City of Pasadena is covered in a light brown haze
The City of Pasadena is covered in a light brown haze
And I'm worried, I'm so worried
I'm gonna be stuck here 'til the end of my days

Walking down Lake Street see the homeless people at night
Walking down Colorado Boulevard see those yuppie people at night
Well they're good and harmless people
And I'm wonderin' why I don't treat 'em right

Well I heard the Beatles singin', ``All you need is love--''
All I need is sleep, 'cause woman I'm starin' at the stars above
Every night, until the break of day
All I need is sleep, woman, listen to me, hear what I say

The last thing that I need now is to end up with a broken heart
('Cause I have so much homework due tomorrow)
The last thing that I need now is to end up with a broken heart
Well you said you'd give me your lovin'
But I don't think now's the best time to start
