the nelson brothers - one of these days lyrics

one of these days

up in the mountains we got all them movie star mansions
down by the ocean beach bums diving for pearls
brushwood and barnacles cling to the slopes of the canyons
and son, believe me, at night it’s a whole other world

what a beautiful sight, the bright lights sparkle like diamonds
sidewalks are paved with stars, all glitter and gold
but dreams melt like snowflakes out here, they ain’t worth a dime, son
they’re cheap as that thrift store suit and the lies you were sold

that’s how it goеs in el pueblo, city of angels
all kinds of driftwood wash up in this town
it’s a world full of pickers and poеts and beautiful strangers
some on their way to the stars, some coming down

the blonde in the wig is a dancer from dayton, ohio
bustin’ her ass downtown for peanuts and tips
and the kid with the lisp at the bar thinks he’s marlon brando
cruises for nickels and dimes down on the strip

the guy with the bling’s running hookers down at the marina
acts like he’s king of the hill, got the world at his feet
and billy the bum says he grew up with robert de niro
now he’s found jesus, pushes a cart down the street
yeah that’s how it goes out here, best watch your back, son
all kinds of driftwood wash up in this town
grifters who trade their last sh+ll for a piece of the action
some on their way to the stars, some coming down

most nights i sit here alone, staring out at the ocean
imagine a time before trouble sailed in to the bay
one of these days gonna be an almighty explosion
won’t be nothing left but the wind and the dust
and the sound of the waves rolling up and slipping away
