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
