Killstation Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey Killstation

It′s not safe outside at night
California has bad vibes
I got no sleep, lost my mind
I hope I'm dreaming this time

Dragging your feet now on the ground
You play to the beat, but it′s way too loud
You're out in the street, they can see you now
If you're asking me, then you best leave town

It′s not safe outside at night
California has bad vibes
I got no sleep, lost my mind
I hope I′m dreaming this time

It's not safe outside at night
California has bad vibes




I got no sleep, lost my mind
I hope I′m dreaming this time
