L.A. - Elliott Smith
The gentleman's in the lane
Spinning his hat on a cane
Stepping out out for change
"Good morning all it's a beautiful day"
The generals are winning a war
Seemed suicidal before
You came alone now
I'll protect you long as you stay
L A
Morning had to come
You'll be walking in the sun
Living in the day
But last night i was about to throw it all away
If patience started a band
I'd be her biggest fan
Look at me i'm talking to you
I don't want the lead in your play
The star's just a part of the scene
The gentleman in green
Paying off out on the street
I can't go home it's not on my way
L A
Things are never done
Car's parked in the sun
Living in the day
But last night i was about to throw it all away
Last night i was about to throw it all away
Last night i was about to throw it all away
Last night i was about to throw it all away
