There Are No Shadows In LA

Alex Wong

Lyrics

In LA there are no shadows
There are no shadows in LA
Our memory’s written backwards
Getting shorter every day

Here in a city that doesn’t talk back
Sing for the future run from the past
Oh the water’s rising fast

We followed the sunlight as far as we could
Were looking for heaven we found Hollywood
Where nobody’s selfish they’re all just misunderstood

Well it’s still so hard to tell you
Oh telling you is so hard
We’re as empty as the sidewalks
On Venice blvd

Oh I heard the angels singing
That Spanish siren call
Her flowers bloom in winter
If you survive the fall

Here in a city that doesn’t talk back
Sing for the future run from the past
Oh the fires fading fast

And we tried to concentrate
But the warmth of the windshield made it hard to stay awake

We followed the sunlight as far as we could
Were looking for heaven we found Hollywood
And the Japanese maple that watched patiently
As we lost our voices as it lost its leaves
And we followed the sunlight as far as we could
And I’m sorry the sun didn’t set where it should
But nobody’s selfish here we’re all just misunderstood
