TV Girl - King of Echo Park lyrics
[TV Girl - King of Echo Park lyrics]
As the sun sets on Sunset
It reflects against a can
Wet with condensation his baby left
She’s going back to school again
And learning fifty ways to
Kill the conversation
'Cause if you can’t be good
You drink in the name of art
And as the sun sets on Sunset again
The stars come out so it don’t get dark
On the king of Echo Park
(The King of Echo Park)
Now she’s playing pool at the Little Joy
Just a little drunk she sees her little boy
And as they smoked outside
She wondered how long she’d have to wait
Until it wouldn’t be too soon
To take him back to her place
'Cause if you can’t go home (can't go home)
If you can't go home (can't go home)
With the one you love
You go home with someone
And it’s never too soon
And it’s never too late
'Cause when you’re royalty babe
You never have to work
And he’s the king of Echo Park
(The King of Echo Park)
Now he’s walking home
In the very same clothes as the night before
Except you'd never know
And all the girls he’s bagged
They just can’t stay mad
They just wave their hands
At no ordinary jerk
But who’s afraid of a little cliché
As he sipped iced tea in the palm tree shade
And as he looked around
And everything was right
But as he closed his eyes he
Dreamt he was in New York
The King of Echo Park
(The King of Echo Park)
It reflects against a can
Wet with condensation his baby left
She’s going back to school again
And learning fifty ways to
Kill the conversation
'Cause if you can’t be good
You drink in the name of art
And as the sun sets on Sunset again
The stars come out so it don’t get dark
On the king of Echo Park
(The King of Echo Park)
Now she’s playing pool at the Little Joy
Just a little drunk she sees her little boy
And as they smoked outside
She wondered how long she’d have to wait
Until it wouldn’t be too soon
To take him back to her place
'Cause if you can’t go home (can't go home)
If you can't go home (can't go home)
With the one you love
You go home with someone
And it’s never too soon
And it’s never too late
'Cause when you’re royalty babe
You never have to work
And he’s the king of Echo Park
(The King of Echo Park)
Now he’s walking home
In the very same clothes as the night before
Except you'd never know
And all the girls he’s bagged
They just can’t stay mad
They just wave their hands
At no ordinary jerk
But who’s afraid of a little cliché
As he sipped iced tea in the palm tree shade
And as he looked around
And everything was right
But as he closed his eyes he
Dreamt he was in New York
The King of Echo Park
