lyrics

We took your El Camino
Down to El Segundo
We took 1 just for the view
Between the beach and heaven
A 747
Headed west into the blue

Something about you was playing
While I'm around you all the palms are swaying

I'll drink deep from the basin of the angels
I won't weep for the place I left behind
And I can't argue with a blue sky
But I don't want to die in L.A.

We got a cheap apartment
We fought about what art meant
You took a job as a P.A.
The writing hit a roadblock
They caught you stealing film stock
And we were far from on our way

We didn't know what we were doing
We took the carpool lane on the road to ruin

I'll drink deep from the basin of the angels
I won't weep for the place I left behind
And I can't argue with a blue sky
But I don't want to die in L.A.

We came to run this town
But all we did was run out of your dead uncle's money
And we can laugh about it now
As if everything worked out like some dumb movie

I'll drink deep from the basin of the angels
I won't weep for the place I left behind
And I can't argue with a blue sky
You know I want to be a nice guy
But I don't want to die in L.A.
