The tissue box is empty No coffee for my cream Dogs howl in the alley Crazy women scream Some kids shout from their pick up truck They're stoned on life and beer Fifty radios playing in this street But I'm still hardly here Exquisitely bored in California We take our trouble to the Crest Exquisitely bored in California Exquisitely bored, just like all the rest When the sun shines, things'll get moving You feel close to the stars There are good times walking in Laguna But it rains in my heart The peasants here are starving They look like barrels out in space Pray TV looks like pay TV to me It's just a curse on the human race I take a drive up to L.A. In my gas guzzling limousine There's a whole lot of crazy people up there Living out a life in sweet ennui Exquisitely bored in California We take frustration to the Crest Exquisitely bored in California Exquisitely bored, just like all the rest When the sun shines, things'll get moving You feel close to the stars There are good times walking in Laguna But it rains in my heart Exquisitely bored in California We take our trouble to the Crest Exquisitely bored in California Exquisitely bored, just like all the rest
