"Legerdemain" lyrics

Hey
I called you up about a quarter to nine
Called it a day when you were starting your night
It's anecdotal but it don't feel the same
Dreams stick around but they take me awhile to explain

Yeah
And is it as nice as they say
Spending your life in LA
It's gone like a legerdemain
We talk and we all slip away

You called me back
I was boarding a plane
It's getting dicey but it's always the same
So every other year I drop in your life
Time might have flown but I know that we're still doing fine

And how many times can it take
Spending your life in LA
The music your friends like to play
To tell you what I need to say

And is it as nice as they say
Spending your life in LA
It's gone like a legerdemain
We talk and we all slip away
