LA/LA

Desert flower of my early days, caught up in the lotus craze

We used to ride the swimming pools, tagging the walls, fuck the rules

Smashing windows just to make some noise, Juvie D’s, blondie skater boys

Until the tinsel dragged us down, and I had to split LA town

I wasn’t fooled LA LA, you fritter kindness and betray

Well I don’t wanna live that way

High up on Laurel Canyon road, happily broke and in the zone

Until you moved to Malibu where the sand’s too soft and the sea’s too blue

Do you remember when you said to me ‘baby the truth will set you free’

Life was a gas we had it made, but that was only a glass parade

Glitter glam that fades away, it’s not worth the price you pay

I had enough LA LA

Icon of the western world perched on the edge like a pinup girl

Mecca for a lemming run, patron saint of plastic fun

You played my friend and backed away

I tried to leave and overstayed

But hey what fun LA LA

Yeah I was fooled LA LA

But no regrets what can I say

Nothing lost and nothing gained

LA LA, LALA
