The Lost Trailers - Longfall lyrics
[The Lost Trailers - Longfall lyrics]
The waves are settling down
And the sun has sunk into the sand
And the only calm this city gives
Is living in these ocean sounds
Well, it's not as bad as it could be
It's just not as good as
I thought it would be
You'll find out what you miss most when
You're out alone on the West Coast
In a longfall, yes, it's gonna be a longfall
I'm not sure why I'm still here
When I left my life seemed so clear
Now my dreams are heavy things
That are muddied by reality
Cause, I can't find good pay
And there's no game days on Saturdays
Yes, the only tailgates I see down
Are loading smack and crack cocaine
For a long haul
Up the West Coast in this longfall
My girl loved the price of fame
I lost her when she changed her name
Her face used to feel so soft
'til her agent's doctor pulled it off
She got a new nose and cheekbones
And a bit part on a TV show
But a home can turn to a frozen place
When the one you love's got a stranger's face
It's a longfall, out in LA, It's
A longfall still no rain
And I don't feel the same
Just when I thought I'd head on back
I saw a black haired girl
On the concrete path
She flung her hair back with her hands
Between the setting sun and a coffee stand
And in the fading light I could barely see
When she fired up a Winston and gave it to me
She said, "You look like someone I know"
I said, "I do, well, thanks for the care
Cause it shows"
In this longfall
There's fine folks out on the West Coast
It's just a longfall, where there's no cold
And no one gets old
In this longfall, there's no rain
But I know Jane will change
In this longfall, yes
I know things have got to change
And the sun has sunk into the sand
And the only calm this city gives
Is living in these ocean sounds
Well, it's not as bad as it could be
It's just not as good as
I thought it would be
You'll find out what you miss most when
You're out alone on the West Coast
In a longfall, yes, it's gonna be a longfall
I'm not sure why I'm still here
When I left my life seemed so clear
Now my dreams are heavy things
That are muddied by reality
Cause, I can't find good pay
And there's no game days on Saturdays
Yes, the only tailgates I see down
Are loading smack and crack cocaine
For a long haul
Up the West Coast in this longfall
My girl loved the price of fame
I lost her when she changed her name
Her face used to feel so soft
'til her agent's doctor pulled it off
She got a new nose and cheekbones
And a bit part on a TV show
But a home can turn to a frozen place
When the one you love's got a stranger's face
It's a longfall, out in LA, It's
A longfall still no rain
And I don't feel the same
Just when I thought I'd head on back
I saw a black haired girl

She flung her hair back with her hands
Between the setting sun and a coffee stand
And in the fading light I could barely see

And no one gets old

In this longfall, yes
I know things have got to change
