lyrics

“Love is a dirty word,” she breathes
while painting the air with a cigarette. And he just smiles.
“Go home or stay here. It’s up to you.“
So he undoes his shirt and he kicks off his shoes.

A lie of omission is still a lie.
But it's one he can live with for one more night.
Fire and brimstone.
Heat in the night.
Feels so right.

Oh, but what would you do if that choice was yours?
And Love, whoa love, is a dirty word.

Love is a game for fools.
You can tie your heart on a leash if you want.
I might take it for a walk, maybe two.
But don’t you ask me to pick up yo’ shit.

The truth is locked up tight.
I hope we can keep it for one more night.
Pride is the fuel.
And lust is the spark.
And it burns in the dark.

It's all fun and games 'til someone gets hurt.
The truth is love is a dirty word.

I worked so hard to please you.
And I tried so hard to leave you.
Baby I still need you and I feel the pain.

Oh, you’re too crazy.
My mind is just so hazy.
And I cry like a baby when I hear your name.

Oh love love love. Oh love love love. Oh love love love. Oh love. Oh love love love. Oh love love love. Oh love love love. Oh love is a dirty word.

Original and throwback. Shredded gnar and sultry croon. Californicorns are climbing a wall of sound to a big sweaty dance party filled with sentimental ballads and get-your-ass-off-the-wall jams.
