LA Story

Do you remember when the man said
"It's the currency of loneliness 25 bedrooms
For one single double bed?"
Do you remember when the man said, "Snowstorms in mid-July?"
Drive a licensed fakery, and your dashboard looking like a bakery
And the courthouse bluer than a swimming pool club
And your quarters riding the sun above your home

As she was in the past, but still on your mind
However hard you run, you can't leave you behind

And money breaks people, and tears them apart
And life could be perfect if it only had a heart
And I only wanna be the one to take you to a place you know
Cupcakes in the rain in a secondhand tuxedo
Just before the credits roll

Do you remember when the man said
"Your head, it's just a big balloon?"
They blow up until it fills the room
And suddenly, they go somewhere to be

Do you remember in Montreal
Chasing the shadows all across the wall
Thinking about I never made the call
'Cause you just can't trust yourself now
There's a lost sun setting like a neon nectarine
It's like everybody knows, but they just don't intervene

And she was in your past, but still on your mind
However hard you run, you can't leave you behind

And money breaks people, and tears them apart
And life could be perfect if it only had a heart
And I only wanna be the one to take you to a place you know
Cupcakes in the rain in a secondhand tuxedo
Just before the credits roll

I'm tree-swaying, people keep saying
"You could be the best of all time"
Big farmer poppin', purple drink sloppin'
Join in that illustrious line
Hollywood, they'll get you in the end
Amen, amen
