"LA Thing" lyrics
I turn left every time there's a corner
Must be why I'm stuck out in California
Between the hills and all the bills and everything in between
All the gay bars and bona fides, there's nothing much I ain't see
It's just twenty-somethings faking
All those dreams they think they're making
And no matter how it's sunny
I got no one here to love me
All my friends are driving Lambos
I can't even earn a penny
And I need some mercy now
I've been lost out here through the ages
I never felt myself, it's an LA thing
I've been lost out here through the ages
It's an LA thing, must be an LA thing
Coffee breaks, I pretend those are meetings
101, constantly got me reeling
And I got a little place but pretend it's a mansion I'm seeing
And I'm still here tryna give life some meaning
And, yeah, the city's insane
It's like a moth to the flame
But don't blame yourself
When they pick somebody else
Go pack your bags
Move back in with my mom and dad
Don't worry, kid
They're proud of their boy
I've been lost out here through the ages
I never felt myself, it's an LA thing
I've been lost out here through the ages
It's an LA thing, must be an LA thing
Do you think that you'll miss the air
That you could hardly breathe?
And figure that the city of angels
Ain't in heaven, it's by the sea
(It's an LA thing, must be an LA thing)
It's like a scene from Falling Down
I've been lost out here through the ages
I never felt myself, it's an LA thing
I've been lost out here through the ages
It's an LA thing, must be an LA thing
Dodger Stadium, the Palladium
Melrose Avenue, down to Malibu
Up on Griffith Park, Santa Monica
Crescent Heights, Mullholand Drive
PCH and Silver Lake
Angels live in the Golden State
Little old Tokyo, in South Central
Montebello (it's an LA thing)
I've been lost out here through the ages
I never felt myself, it's an LA thing
I've been lost out here through the ages
It's an LA thing, must be an LA thing
Been lost out here
I never felt myself
Been lost out here
It's an LA thing, must be an LA thing
It's an LA thing, must be an LA thing
Must be why I'm stuck out in California
Between the hills and all the bills and everything in between
All the gay bars and bona fides, there's nothing much I ain't see
It's just twenty-somethings faking
All those dreams they think they're making
And no matter how it's sunny
I got no one here to love me
All my friends are driving Lambos
I can't even earn a penny
And I need some mercy now
I've been lost out here through the ages
I never felt myself, it's an LA thing
I've been lost out here through the ages
It's an LA thing, must be an LA thing
Coffee breaks, I pretend those are meetings
101, constantly got me reeling
And I got a little place but pretend it's a mansion I'm seeing
And I'm still here tryna give life some meaning
And, yeah, the city's insane
It's like a moth to the flame
But don't blame yourself
When they pick somebody else
Go pack your bags
Move back in with my mom and dad
Don't worry, kid
They're proud of their boy
I've been lost out here through the ages
I never felt myself, it's an LA thing
I've been lost out here through the ages
It's an LA thing, must be an LA thing
Do you think that you'll miss the air
That you could hardly breathe?
And figure that the city of angels
Ain't in heaven, it's by the sea
(It's an LA thing, must be an LA thing)
It's like a scene from Falling Down
I've been lost out here through the ages
I never felt myself, it's an LA thing
I've been lost out here through the ages
It's an LA thing, must be an LA thing
Dodger Stadium, the Palladium
Melrose Avenue, down to Malibu
Up on Griffith Park, Santa Monica
Crescent Heights, Mullholand Drive

Montebello (it's an LA thing)
I've been lost out here through the ages
I never felt myself, it's an LA thing
I've been lost out here through the ages
It's an LA thing, must be an LA thing
Been lost out here
I never felt myself
Been lost out here
It's an LA thing, must be an LA thing
It's an LA thing, must be an LA thing
