Just like California was not even there
  Since it's gone I'm so withdrawn
  I ain't got no one nowhere
  
  Right beside the ocean my darlin' Clementine
  Well the water got high and she never got dry and
  She was a water sign
  
  CHORUS:
  Time is on my bad side
  Halfway there just wouldn't be fair
  So I'm goin' all the way tonight
  Halfway there just wouldn't be fair
  So I'm goin' all the way tonight
  
  Just like California to make a fool of me
  Steal the sideshow, burn the disco
  Slide into the sea
  
  I'm a thinking person, and I think that it's wrong
  To keep on saying true love's waiting
  When true love is long gone
  
  (repeat chorus)
