The waves are settling down, and the sun has sunk into the sand
|
And the only calm this city gives is living in these ocean sounds
|
Well, it's not as bad as it could be, it's just not as good as I thought it would be
|
You'll find out what you miss most when you're out alone on the West Coast
|
In a longfall, yes, it's gonna be a longfall
|
|
I'm not sure why I'm still here, when I left my life seemed so clear
|
Now my dreams are heavy things that are muddied by reality
|
Cause I can't find good pay, and there's no game days on Saturdays
|
Yes, the only tailgates I see down are loading smack and crack cocaine
|
For a long haul, up the West Coast in this longfall
|
|
My girl loved the price of fame, I lost her when she changed her name
|
Her face used to feel so soft, 'til her agent's doctor pulled it off
|
She got a new nose and cheekbones, and a bit part on a TV show
|
But a home can turn to a frozen place, when the one you love's got a stranger's face
|
It's a longfall, out in LA, It's a longfall. Still no rain, and I don't feel the same
|
|
Just when I thought I'd head on back, I saw a black haired girl on the concrete path
|
She flung her hair back with her hands, between the setting sun and a coffee stand
|
And in the fading light I could barely see, when she fired up a Winston and gave it to me
|
She said, "You look like someone I know";
|
I said, "I do, well, thanks for the care, cause it shows."
|
|
In this longfall, there's fine folks out on the West Coast
|
It's just a longfall, where there's no cold, and no one gets old
|
In this longfall, there's no rain, but I know Jane will change
|
In this longfall, yes, I know things have got to change
|
