L.A. — текст песни (Elliott Smith)

the gentle little elaine,
spinning his hat on a cane
stepping out, out for change
good morning all, it`s a beautiful day

the generals are winning a war
seemed suicidal before
you came alone, now
i`ll protect you, long as you stay

lllllaaaaa
one of a kind
you`ll be walking in the sun
living in the day
last night i was about to throw it all away

if patience started a band,
i`d be her biggest fan
look at me, i`m talking to you
i don`t want the lead in your play

the star`s just a part of the scene
the gentle man in green
paying off, out on the street
i can`t go home, it`s not on my way

llllllaaaaaa
things are never done, car`s parked in the sun
living in the day
last night i was about to throw it all away (4 times)
