Late Night, Early Town

(album: Music In A Foreign Language - 2003)

Just another bunch of torn down college graduates
Trying to find a place to set down for a while
Too pumped up to fake it
Too belligerent to take it sitting down
Early town

Just another bunch of would be desperadoes
Failing to pace themselves against the grain
Strung out on semantics
Holiday Inn vigilantes
Late night, early town

Oh, Los Angeles
How do you sleep?
You seem so full of cocaine
And self belief
If I could get me some
I'd take it and I'd run
Oh, but it's just another
Late night, early town

Is t too late to be post modern lovers?
Is it too late to straighten out the show?
The sky is turning grey
And now the afterparty fades
We're coming down
On an early town

Oh, Los Angeles
How do you sleep?
You seem so full of cocaine
And self belief
If I could get me some
I'd take it and I'd run
Oh, but it's just another
Late night, early town

Late night, early town
Am I supposed to sleep
Here all alone?
Beneath the shadow of the minibar
With the promise of a Spectravision girl

A Spectravision girl
Oh, those Spectravision girls...
