The waves are settling down, and the sun has sunk into the sand And the only calm this city gives is living in these ocean sounds Well, its not as bad as it could be, its just not as good as I thought it would be Youll find out what you miss most when youre out alone on the West Coast In a longfall, yes, its gonna be a longfall Im not sure why Im still here, when I left my life seemed so clear Now my dreams are heavy things that are muddied by reality Cause I cant find good pay, and theres no game days on Saturdays Yes, the only tailgates I see down are loading smack and crack cocaine For a long haul, up the West Coast in this longfall My girl loved the price of fame, I lost her when she changed her name Her face used to feel so soft, til her agents doctor pulled it off She got a new nose and cheekbones, and a bit part on a TV show But a home can turn to a frozen place, when the one you loves got a strangers face Its a longfall, out in LA, Its a longfall. Still no rain, and I dont feel the same Just when I thought Id head on back, I saw a black haired girl on the concrete path She flung her hair back with her hands, between the setting sun and a coffee stand And in the fading light I could barely see, when she fired up a Winston and gave it to me She said, You look like someone I know I said, I do, well, thanks for the care, cause it shows. In this longfall, theres fine folks out on the West Coast Its just a longfall, where theres no cold, and no one gets old In this longfall, theres no rain, but I know Jane will change In this longfall, yes, I know things have got to change
longfall, coast, west, yes, muddied
