Santa Monica

What happens sitting here for a long time
Bout an hour south from the great vine
Waiting for my ladder to come
I came here for a piece of the action
Waited to the point of distraction
Slowly getting sick from the sun

But I remember waiting in line for
Trying to get in through the side door
The cities we can never reform
But now it's just a matter of recall
Slowly getting used to the free fall
And all read the path to record

I started walking the streets again
Trying to get a taste of the oxygen
I'm feeling like I'm getting so out of touch
And I don't even get outta town that much
Now we stop and go on the fortify
I wonder if there's anyone left alive
A solitary holiday afternoons
I wish that I could call it but it's too soon
So tell me if you wanna go

It's a long way home
To the Santa Monica that you know
And I'm already late to be mine
Gotta secret skin
Shout a with the state that I'm in
I don't even try to get down
Simple cowards keep through the endless town

But now we're destined
I remember everybody who got there first
We were watching at the bars of the restaurants
Slowly taken over from debutants
Santa Monica's just a boulevard
Just something you can put on your credit card
I don't have the heart to come back to you
Worry about the future well it's too soon
Tell me if you wanna go

It's a long way home
To the Santa Monica that you know
And I'm already late to be mine
Gotta secret skin
Shout a boulder with the state that I'm in
I don't even try to get down
Simple cowards keep through the endless town
Endless town

And you wouldn't believe
All the things that you need
Carry your head up off the ground
This town

It's a long way home
To the Santa Monica that you know
And I'm already late to be mine
Gotta secret skin
Shout a boulder with the state that I'm in
I don't even try to get down
Simple cowards keep through the endless town
