[English]

There's red lights on boulevards

And stop signs on highways

There's desert sands and oceans

Ain't nothin' goin' my way

And I say

Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh

I'm going where the wind blows

Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh

Lost souls on Melrose

It feels like everything is changin'

Thought I was blind but I was just in the dark

You change your aura just to fit in

It ain't your business to be changing the stars

If there ain't nothin' in it for me

What we got in common?

If the world is crashing and falling down then we dancin' on a comet

How we California caked up?

But worried 'bout a paystub

Not thinking 'bout the outcome before you jump in

And I say

Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh

I'm going where the wind blows

Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh

Lost souls on Melrose

I, I, I, I done things that I'm not proud of

Born just to sin, nothing you can talk me out of

Stuck in a room where the quiet gets louder

Wrong or right, don't exist where I'm from

So I say

Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh

I'm going where the wind blows

Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh

Lost souls on Melrose

...

There's red lights on boulevards

And stop signs on highways

...
