The Sweetness is Killing Us
They say in El Segundo you can rest
A valiant soul is watching your protest
Outside, the rebels have made their presence known
Midnight Santa Ana warm winds show
Sherlock, in a daydream of Conan Doyle
Find answers in the ether, half despoiled
Those scratch marks on the door are echoes of before
It's hot and dry and no one is at the door
Vagabonds and dreamers share a name
Embryos and zygotes and Charlemagne
Self-destructive angel with winds denied
PCH and silence is why you drive
Palisades and Palmas, hillsides gaunt
590 East then the pass up to Altamont
Always, a greater yellow overhead
One lane and scrag the sand has shed
Molotovs and eagles and blackened flags
Motorbikes, hosannas and painted rags
Close your eyes and see the blue beyond
Close your mind to peace and then it's gone
A valiant soul is watching your protest
Outside, the rebels have made their presence known
Midnight Santa Ana warm winds show
Sherlock, in a daydream of Conan Doyle
Find answers in the ether, half despoiled
Those scratch marks on the door are echoes of before
It's hot and dry and no one is at the door
Vagabonds and dreamers share a name
Embryos and zygotes and Charlemagne
Self-destructive angel with winds denied
PCH and silence is why you drive
Palisades and Palmas, hillsides gaunt
590 East then the pass up to Altamont
Always, a greater yellow overhead
One lane and scrag the sand has shed
Molotovs and eagles and blackened flags
Motorbikes, hosannas and painted rags
Close your eyes and see the blue beyond
Close your mind to peace and then it's gone
