Ghost Beach

In an old apartment, down in the gardens, I was born on a sunny day
When the rides ruled the streets like a Sunday parade
Everyone was cruising, gang signs, we moving
You know how we doing, white lines abusing
On the boulevard, you know we going too far
Nothing really matters when you’re walking on stars
Last call at the Rainbow Bar
Mistress Los Angeles stole my heart
You can save yourself if you got no soul
Nowadays auditions to the devil are sold
From the boardwalk, I see the ghost on the beach
Memories of my city keep haunting me
Where’s LA, where’s LA, where’s LA?
Whatever happened to the city we knew?
Where’s LA, where’s LA, where’s LA?
Whatever happened to the city we knew?
No rain, just sunshine
All the broken taillights
Earthquakes and silver lakes
False dreams, yeah, I can hear the heartbreak
Malibu, we cruising
The cops come, we’re losing
You know how we do it
In this life, I’m using
We out here in east LA
About to start a little shit down on PCH
Whatever happened to my favorite place?
Running red lights, never touch the brakes
I use to have my own map to the stars
Wouldn’t you know the stars were open scars?
I wouldn’t have it any other way
And I don’t give a fuck come Judgment Day
Where’s LA, where’s LA, where’s LA?
Whatever happened to the city we knew?
Where’s LA, where’s LA, where’s LA?
Whatever happened to the city we knew?
Tell my mother, my brothers, my father and others
I’ll be gone until November with LA, my lover
Tell my mother, my brothers, my father and others
I’ll be gone until November with Los Angeles, hung over
Hold your sons, your daughters, the sand to water
We are California like no other
Where’s LA, where’s LA, where’s LA?
Whatever happened to the city we knew?
Where’s LA, where’s LA, where’s LA?
Whatever happened to the city we knew?
