I was on the westside staring at the sunlight
When something deep inside changed
In the city of the famous, masked behind my plainness
I was nameless
'Cause I was on the westside
(Westside, westside)
'Cause I was on the westside
(Westside, westside)
'Cause I was on the westside
It's awful cold on the east cost
No it's not wholly metaphorical
You can see in their eyes
There's a darkness inside
When the sun, it never rises
It's awful cold on the east cost
When the sun, it never rises
It's awful cold on the east cost
When the sun, it never rises
It's awful cold on the east cost
But I was on the westside
'Cause I was on the westside
(Westside, westside)
'Cause I was on the westside
(Westside, westside)
So I drove across the coast
I have the memories of a ghost
Who lived back there
Maybe I could tell you everything
That there's a reason that I ran away to sing
I've got memories you don't know
I'm better off away from home
'Cause I was on the westside
(Westside, westside)
'Cause I was on the westside
(Westside, westside)
