Atmosphere - Los Angeles lyrics

[Flight Announcement]

"Flight 101, Super Jet service for Pittsburgh and Los Angeles

will depart from Gate 12. Passengers may proceed into the

gate area for checking..." [faded out echoing]

[Slug]

(Oh yeah) Los Angeles, hot and bothered

Helicopters watch their daughters play parking lot soccer

A whole lot of love from the target's hide

Got a soul looking for a magic carpet ride

Environment, perfect for a hustle

Many people are distracted by the puzzle

And while they're not lookin', the angel got tooken

Welcome to the gray space between fingerprinting and booking

Do your best 'cause the lesson is love

It's enough to keep your head up, another day to get up

Wake up, and let the sun shine through the smog

Free the dialogue 'til everyone believes in God

L.A., to some it's hell, to some it's play

Pay the cover charge and watch what you say

The Barbie doll's caught, body parts come off

And I think she's a he...STOP, look at how it walks

They got the weirdoes, the talent, the beautiful

An arm and a leg for a one-story cubicle

And if the heat don't beat you, the pigs will

Everyone's relaxed, but no one can sit still

Los Angeles... I love it, I love it...

(Lips Glisten... believe 'em.)

"Ooh California highway... California my way."
