I went with you up to
The place you grew up and
We spent a week in the cold
Just long enough to
Walden it with you
Any longer and it would've got old
Singing "Ace of Spades" when Lemmy died
But nothing's changed, LA's alright
I'm sleeping in my bed again
And getting in my head and then
Walk around the reservoir
You, you must've been looking for me
Sending smoke signals
Pelicans circling
Burning trash out on the beach
One of your eyes is always half-shut
Something happened when you were a kid
I didn't know you then
And I'll never understand why
It feels like I did
"How Soon Is Now?" in an eighties Sedan
You slept inside of it because your dad
Lived in a campground in the back of a van
You said, that song will creep you out
Until you're dead
And you must've been looking for me
Sending smoke signals
Pelicans circling
Burning trash out on the beach
I want to live at the Holiday Inn
Where somebody else makes the bed
We'll watch TV
While the lights on the street
Put all the stars to death
It's been on my mind since Bowie died
Just checking out to hide from life
And all of our problems, I'm gonna solve them
With you riding shotgun
Speeding 'cause fuck the cops
And you, you must've been looking for me
Sending smoke signals
Pelicans circling
Burning trash out on the beach
I buried a hatchet
It's coming up lavender
The future's unwritten
The past is a corridor
I'm at the exit
Looking back through the hall
While you are anonymous
I am a concrete wall
