ELLIOTT SMITH - l.a. lyrics

rate me

The gentleman's in the lane,

Spinning his hat on a cane

Stepping out, out for change

"Good morning all, it's a beautiful day"

The generals are winning a war

Seemed suicidal before

You came alone, now

I'll protect you, long as you stay

L.A.

Morning had to come

You'll be walking in the sun

Living in the day

But last night i was about to throw it all away

If patience started a band,

I'd be her biggest fan

Look at me, i'm talking to you

I don't want the lead in your play

The star's just a part of the scene

The gentleman in green

Paying off, out on the street

I can't go home, it's not on my way

L.A.

Things are never done

Car's parked in the sun

Living in the day

But last night i was about to throw it all away

Last night i was about to throw it all away

Last night i was about to throw it all away

Last night i was about to throw it all away
