Sleepless In Silverlake

We hit the hills and we hit 'em hard

With iron wills and with Mastercards

We moved the mountains into our homes

We kept in touch with our mobile phones

L.A., tonight we stay up late

And stumble towards the day

It's warm in Silver Lake

Now when we crush up on the dawn

You must confess the things you want

'Cause by the brightness of the day

You know that they evaporate

We're pumpin' quarters towards a place to pause

The walkin' wounded wrap their face in gauze

These kids'll kill you just because they can

Their teeth are bleached, and their tits are tanned

L.A., tonight we stay up late

And piss our cares away

It's warm in Silver Lake

Now when we crush up on the dawn

You must confess the things you want

'Cause by the brightness of the day

You know that they evaporate

Tonight we're gonna stay up late

And stumble forward towards the day

And try to beat the haze away

L.A.

As far as knowin' who we are

We're like the light cast off a star

A million million miles far

From the places where you start

There's nothing pure here anymore

You see the ashes in the ice

The only purity you'll find

Past some impossible divide
