renouncer - los angeles lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
had my last supper in el segundo
then i left to cross the sea
stared at hawth+rne down from heaven
the ghost of dennis stared back at me

and he said
“having ridden the snake into a circle
it’s got nothing left to eat but its tail”
and i said
“man, i’m way too sober for this, what the h+ll?”

but then the plane reached the peak of its ascent
we were high enough to see
looped horizons stretching backwards
we looked at all of history

[chorus]
oh, america (oh, america)
we hardly knew ye
they only ever told your stories
like they were half+remembered dreams

and in santa monica
the t+birds cruise along the beach
gazing westward towards the sunset
they cast their shadows to the east
[verse 2]
turned my attention back to dennis
asked why he’d just now reappeared
he said a deja+vu type feeling manifested him back here

he went on
“with the gift of hindsight i can see
that this time, it’s all a sham”
and i knew then he was no prophet, just a weathered man
(just a weathered man)
but i couldn’t stay mad

[chorus]
oh, america (oh, america)
always reflected
in chrome and backyard poolsides glistening
a glimpse is all you can afford

vision of los angeles (los angeles)
already gone when i was born
but i know you weren’t real anyways
you were never mine to mourn

[verse 3]
and now we’re all lined up on this crazy cliff
our heels out over the canyon
the sky is burning amethyst
a twelve+string chimes in the abyss
i take a look over my shoulder and i see them
fluorescent ghosts with neon halos
with brimming eyes they join their hands and they bow
