Promise of the Real, Lukas Nelson - L.A. lyrics
[Promise of the Real, Lukas Nelson - L.A. lyrics]
In a matter of time
There'll be a friend of mine
Gonna come to the coast, gonna see him
Up close for a minute or two
Where the ground cracks under you
By the look in your eyes
You'd think that it was a surprise
And you seem to forget
Something somebody said
About the bubbles in the sea
And an ocean full of trees
LA city in the smog, city in the sun
Don't you wish that you could be here too?
Don't you wish that you could be here too?
Well, it's hard to believe
So you get up to leave
And you laugh at the door
That you heard it all before
Oh it's so good to know
That it's all just a show for you
'Cause when the suppers are planned
And the freeways are jammed
And the mountain erupts
And the valley is sucked
Into cracks in the earth
Will I finally be heard by you
LA city in the smog, city in the sun
Don't you wish that you could be here too?
Don't you wish that you could be here too?
There'll be a friend of mine
Gonna come to the coast, gonna see him
Up close for a minute or two
Where the ground cracks under you
By the look in your eyes
You'd think that it was a surprise
And you seem to forget
Something somebody said
About the bubbles in the sea
And an ocean full of trees
LA city in the smog, city in the sun
Don't you wish that you could be here too?
Don't you wish that you could be here too?
Well, it's hard to believe
So you get up to leave
And you laugh at the door
That you heard it all before
Oh it's so good to know
That it's all just a show for you
'Cause when the suppers are planned
And the freeways are jammed
And the mountain erupts
And the valley is sucked
Into cracks in the earth
Will I finally be heard by you
LA city in the smog, city in the sun
Don't you wish that you could be here too?
Don't you wish that you could be here too?
