Lyrics L.A. - Neil Young

L.A.

In a matter of time\nThere’ll be a friend of mine\nGoing to come to the coast\nYou’re going to see him\nUp close for a minute or two\nWhile the ground cracks under you\nBy the look in your eyes\nYou’d think that it was a surprise\nBut you seem to forget\nSomething somebody said\nAbout the bubbles in the sea\nAnd an ocean full of trees\nAnd you now, L.A. uptight\nCity in the smog, city in the smog\nDon’t you wish that you could be here too?\nWell, it’s hard to believe\nSo you get up to leave\nAnd you laugh at the door\nThat you heard it all before\nOh it’s so good to know\nThat it’s all just a show for you\nBut when the suppers are planned\nAnd the freeways are crammed\nAnd the mountains erupt\nAnd the valley is sucked\nInto cracks in the earth\nWill I finally be heard by you\nL.A. uptight\nCity in the smog, city in the smog\nDon’t you wish that you could be here too?
