Counting Crows Los Angeles Lyrics

Los Angeles Lyrics

Dancing like the nights are down in Nashville

But I seem to know the ghosts who like to run

I got a call to go to a late night picture show

So I traded in the darkness and I'm already glad, I'm already there

And I'm trying to make some friends



So if you see that movie star and me

If you see my picture in a magazine

Or if you fall asleep by the bedroom TV

Well honey, I'm just trying to make some sense outta me



I left a lot of ghosts in San Francisco

And now you wanna say you see through me

But what you wanna see ain't your memories of me

So why you turn around tonight but I'm already there, I'm already there

And I'm just trying to make some friends



So if you see that movie star and me

If you should see my picture in a magazine

Or if you fall asleep while you're watching TV

Well honey, I'm just trying to make some sense in Los Angeles



Boston gets cold this time of year

It seems like each day just leaves me numb

I gotta get out of here and go walking in the sun



Well, if you see that movie star and me

If you should see my picture in a magazine

Or if you fall asleep by the bedroom TV

But honey, I'm just trying to make some sense

Honey, I'm just trying to make some friends

Well baby, I'm not trying to make amends

For coming to Los Angeles, oh, Los Angeles



No more Boston, no more Nashville, no more Oakland

Oh baby, come on out to the sea

Come on, take a walk down Sunset with me



Oh, we're gonna get drunk, find us some skinny girls

And go street walking, street walking, baby

Oh, in Los Angeles, street walking, baby



And man, it's a really good place to find yourself a taco
