Frank Black - Los Angeles lyrics

Frank Black

I met a man

he was a good man.

Sailin' and shorin'

dancing the beta can-can

making me foreign, aaaah yeah.

I wanna live in Los Angeles

not the one in Los Angeles

not the one in South California

they got one in South Patagonia

I wanna live in Los Angeles

not the one in Los Angeles

They got a bunch down in moleville

they got a bunch more still.

I wanna live in Los Angeles

not the one in Los Angeles

They got one in 25-2-5

works just like a beehive.

I wanna live in Los Angeles

not the one in Los Angeles

Countin' helicopters on a Saturday night

The Symphony of the Fair Light

I hear them saying Los Angeles

in all the black-and-white movies

and if they star-spangled us

How come we say Los Anjeleez?

I'll wait in Los Angeles

I'll wait in the pouring sun

No way, for not anyone, no way.

I met a man

he was a good man.

Sailin' and shorin'

he got a Beta-tron man.

Talkin' that foreign, aaah yeah
