R.E.M. — I Remember California

[Verse 1] I remember redwood trees, bumper cars and wolverines The ocean's Trident submarines Lemons, limes and tangerines I remember this I remember traffic jams Motor boys and girls with tans Nearly was and almost rans I remember this [Bridge] And history is made History is made to seem unfair [Verse 2] I recall that you were there Golden smile and shining hair I recall it wasn't fair Recollect it wasn't fair Remembering it wasn't fair outside [Chorus] Low ebb, high tide The lowest ebb and highest tide A symbol wave I must confide I guess we took us for a ride I guess it's just a gesture [Verse 3] I remember this defense Progress fails pacific sense All those sweet conspiracies I remember all these things I remember traffic jams Motor boys and girls with tans Nearly was and almost rans I remember this, this [Chorus] Low ebb, high tide The lowest ebb and highest tide I guess we took us for a ride I guess it's just a gesture [Outro] At the end of the continent At the edge of a continent
