lyrics

Verse
Pull you under (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Under cover (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Into water (yeah, yeah, yeah)
That were haunted (yeah, yeah, yeah)
California (yeah, yeah, yeah)
On the corner (yeah, yeah, yeah)
To the border (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Chorus
And when the sun, hits the moon right
That’s when they come, looking to bite
And if you run, then the blood might
Run at midnight

Verse
It’s important (yeah, yeah, yeah)
To be sure of (yeah, yeah, yeah)
If you’re east or (yeah, yeah, yeah)
West of Portland (yeah, yeah, yeah)
By the sea shore (yeah, yeah, yeah)
To the drug store (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Now you’re done for (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Chorus
And if you run, to the outside
That’s when they turn, in the nighttime
That’s when it comes, looking to ride
For a good time

Bridge
There’s something about you
You’re making moves at the edge of the wave
That sun it surrounds you
You change your tune at the end of the day
There’s something about you
You pull me in then you push it away
That sun it surrounds you
You feel the heat at the end of the day, at the end of the day

Verse
Pull you under (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Under cover (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Into water (yeah, yeah, yeah)
That were haunted (yeah, yeah, yeah)
California (yeah, yeah, yeah)
On the corner (yeah, yeah, yeah)
To the border (yeah, yeah, yeah)
