In the Blasted California Sun Original Broadway Cast of Lempicka

Mama, it's time

In the blasted California sun
No grey can survive
Where is my blessed blue, deep and ancient
Glistening on canvas since the Medicis?
Where is the grey of the Paris sky?
The grey of her eyes?
Nothing but avocado and orange
A palette utterly devoid of poetry

In the blasted California sun
It is a bitch to outlive
Your own context
Oh, you've gotta go to New York for culture
(spoken)
Ha, New York
(sung)
I've got jewelry older than New York!
Nonetheless, everything else is gone
