歌词

[00:00.00] 作词 : Gibbard
[00:13.69] I'm in Los Angeles today...
[00:16.63] It smells like an airport runway.
[00:20.37] Jet fuel stenches in the cabin
[00:23.12] And lights flickering at random.
[00:32.44] I'm in Los Angeles today...
[00:34.00] Garbage cans comprise the medians of freeways always creaping
[00:42.31] Even when the population's sleeping.
[00:52.94] And I can't see why you'd want to live here.
[01:03.75] I'm in Los Angeles today...
[01:06.94] Asked a gas station employee if he ever had trouble breathing
[01:12.94] And he said "It varies from season to season, kid."
[01:23.07] It's where our best are on display...
[01:26.19] Motion picture actors' houses
[01:29.94] Maps are never ever current
[01:36.00] So save your film and $15.
[01:46.38] And I can't see why you'd want to live here.
[01:50.00] Billboards reach past the tallest buildings,
[01:56.60] "We are not perfect - but we sure try."
[02:03.72] As UV rays "degraded" our youth with time.
[02:15.00]
[02:34.16] The vessel keeps pumping us through this zentropic place
[02:35.85] In the belly of the beast that is Californ-i-a,
[02:39.41] I drank from a faucet and I kept my receipts
[02:43.79] For when the weigh me on my way out
[02:46.66] Here nothing is free
[02:48.65] The greyhounds keep coming
[02:51.15] Dumping locusts into the street
[02:53.52] Until the gutters overflow
[02:54.78] And Los Angeles thinks,
[02:58.65] "I might explode someday soon."
[03:02.66]
[03:19.17] It's a lovely summer's day
[03:25.29] And I can almost see a skyline through a thickening shroud of egos.
[03:41.92] Is this the city of Angeles or demons?
[03:44.30] Here the names are what remain...
[03:48.80] Stars encapsulate the gold lame
[03:49.86] And they need constant cleaning for when the tourists begin salivating.
[04:00.80] You can't swim in a town this shallow - you will most assuredly drown tomorrow.
