L.A. (Story) Songtext
von Neil Young & The Stray Gators
L.A. (Story) Songtext
In a matter of time there′ll be a friend of mine
Gonna come to the coast, you're gonna see him up close
For a minute or two
While the ground cracks under you
By the look in your eyes you′d think that it was a surprise
But you seem to forget something somebody said
About the bubbles in the sea
And an ocean full of trees
And you now, L.A.
Uptight, city in the smog, city in the smog
Don't you wish that you could be here, too?
Don't you wish that you could be here, too?
Don′t you wish that you could be here, too?
Well, it′s hard to believe so you get up to leave
And you laugh at the door that you heard it all before
Oh, it's so good to know
That it′s all just a show for you
But when the suppers are planned and the freeways are crammed
And the mountains erupt and the valley is sucked
Into cracks in the earth
Will I finally be heard by you?
L.A.
Uptight, city in the smog, city in the smog
Don't you wish that you could be here, too?
Don′t you wish that you could be here, too?
Don't you wish that you could be here, too?
Gonna come to the coast, you're gonna see him up close
For a minute or two
While the ground cracks under you
By the look in your eyes you′d think that it was a surprise
But you seem to forget something somebody said
About the bubbles in the sea
And an ocean full of trees
And you now, L.A.
Uptight, city in the smog, city in the smog
Don't you wish that you could be here, too?
Don't you wish that you could be here, too?
Don′t you wish that you could be here, too?
Well, it′s hard to believe so you get up to leave
And you laugh at the door that you heard it all before
Oh, it's so good to know
That it′s all just a show for you
But when the suppers are planned and the freeways are crammed
And the mountains erupt and the valley is sucked
Into cracks in the earth
Will I finally be heard by you?
L.A.
Uptight, city in the smog, city in the smog
Don't you wish that you could be here, too?
Don′t you wish that you could be here, too?
Don't you wish that you could be here, too?
