Lyrics and translation
Original
Ashes on my jacket, fog in my eyes.
Driving like a savage down the 405.
A rush of adrenaline pumping through my veins.
Euphoria by another name. The darker it gets, the brighter it shines.
It steals from our souls and plays with our minds.
And it gets me, and it gets me.
And it gets me every time. California nights, glowing like a flame.
In love with the heartless, addicted to the pain.
California nights, oh, they're all the same.
California nights, oh, you get me high.
Playing with my heart while whispering your lies. Crying under stars.
California nights, let's kiss and say goodbye.
See it from a distance, diamonds on a hill.
Beautiful and twisted, but you love it still.
When you're dancing with the shadows, running from the past.
Don't know how much longer this illusion will last.
The darker it gets, the brighter it shines. It steals from our souls and plays with our minds.
And it gets me, oh yeah, and it gets me every time.
California nights, glowing like a flame.
In love with the heartless, addicted to the pain.
California nights, oh, they're all the same.
California nights, oh, you get me high.
Playing with my heart while whispering your lies. Crying under stars.
California nights, let's kiss and say goodbye.
California nights, glowing like a flame.
In love with the heartless, addicted to the pain.
California nights, oh, they're all the same. Yeah.
California nights, oh, you get me high. Playing with my heart while whispering your lies.
Crying under stars.
California nights, let's kiss and say goodbye.
