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
