Los Angeles |
We drive, crazy |
although we know the smoke is killing us |
because we like to go that way. |
The 405 to 10 into Los Angeles. |
The meter’s on the freeway into Heaven |
L.A. yeah. |
We’re bound away. |
Years ago, my great, great Aunt Boo |
drove a yellow Ford with her husband George |
From Signal Hill to Malibu you had to be |
crazy to live here then |
all gone now to Standard Oil |
While holding down the market crash, |
Los Angeles |
The meter’s on the freeway into Heaven |
L.A. yeah. |
We’re bound away. |
Before George and Boo lost everything |
in '29, and he left her for a speakeasy girl on Olivera Street |
Crazy how things can change. |
Before he called out for her in his death |
Boo came to hold him in her arms. |
Before |
Before |
Before the oil this place once was a desert. |
Someday I may be some great |
great something to someone. |
And will that child be dreaming about me, |
and that great, great space that was |
crazy before it changed |
before it changed, before it changed |
before it changed, before it changed |
before it changed, before it changed |
before it changed, before it changed |
before it changed |
Los Angeles. |
The meter’s on the freeway into Heaven |
L.A. yeah. |
We’re bound away. |
