COUNTING CROWS LYRICS - Los Angeles

"Los Angeles"



Dancing like the nights are down in Nashville

But I seem to know the ghosts who like to run

I got a call to go to a late night picture show

So I traded in the darkness and i'm already glad

I'm already there



And i'm trying to make some friends

So if you see that movie star and me

If you see my picture in a magazine

Or if you fall asleep by the bedroom TV



Well honey i'm just tryin' to make some sense

Outta me



I left a lot of ghosts in San Francisco

And now you wanna say you see through me

But what you wanna see ain't your memories of me

So why you turn around tonight

But i'm already there

I'm already there



And i'm just trying to make some friends

So if you see that movie star and me

If you should see my picture in a magazine

Or if you fall asleep while you're watching TV



Well honey i'm just trying to make some sense

Los Angeles

Boston gets cold this time of year

Seems like each day just leaves me numb

I gotta get out of here

Go walking in the sun



Well if you see that movie star and me

Or if you should see my picture in a magazine

Or if you fall asleep by the bedroom TV



But honey i'm just trying to make some sense

Honey i'm just trying to make some friends

Baby i'm not trying to make amends

For coming to Los Angeles

Oh Los Angeles



No more Boston, no more Nashville, no more Oakland

Oh baby come on out to the sea

Come on take a walk down sunset with me



Oh we gonna get drunk, find us some skinny girls, and go street walking

Street walking baby in Los Angeles!



And man its a really good place to find yourself a taco
