    I am not sure what that means. Does that mean it is also the southern most state?

      It’s the edge of the world and all of Western civilization

      The sun may rise in the East, at least it settled in a final location

      It’s understood that Hollywood sells Californication

      The joke being if Alaska is “The east” it’s where the sun rises, then goes 99% around the planet to Cali

          Probably.

          I hate how unreliable lyrics website have become.

          Used to be some random human bothered copying it from the CD insert, now it’s automated closed captioning half the time.

        For 27 years I have been singing this as “at least it settles in a _fun_location”, like “you guys may get the sun rise but of course it wants to settle down in California” and I thought that was such a clever line.

        Now I don’t know how to feel.

          A lot of 90s music sounds deep because we attribute meaning to it and our memories of the times…

          Then you see the lyrics and nope, it was just the heroin
