lyrics
Things I got to do today
Things that won't get gone
But go ahead and leave a message
Things that use to get me off
Now just weigh a ton
I've been sleeping in the wreckage
I got it straight from the top
I never know when to stop
I'm coming down like rain
They say it's crazy
That I would know so soon
But they've never kissed the moon
Eyes like L.A., eyes like L.A.
And lips just like Japan
Open me like a skeleton key
Cyberjets explode
I've never seen things this way
Deserted hearts, false starts
Stockyards in the sun
Falling down the I-5 highway
I got it straight from the top
I never know when to stop
I'm crazy as they come
They say there's no way that I
Could go so soon
But they've never kissed the moon
Eyes like L.A., eyes like L.A.
Lips just like Japan
It's gonna take all goddamn day
To get these cats into my truck
I'm gonna drive all night
So I'll be there when you wake up
Eyes like L.A., eyes like L.A.
Lips just like Japan
I'm gonna take all of my hopes
Pour 'em right into your cup
I wanna be beside you
When they can't wake you up
Eyes like L.A., eyes like L.A.
Things that won't get gone
But go ahead and leave a message
Things that use to get me off
Now just weigh a ton
I've been sleeping in the wreckage
I got it straight from the top
I never know when to stop
I'm coming down like rain
They say it's crazy
That I would know so soon
But they've never kissed the moon
Eyes like L.A., eyes like L.A.
And lips just like Japan
Open me like a skeleton key
Cyberjets explode
I've never seen things this way
Deserted hearts, false starts
Stockyards in the sun
Falling down the I-5 highway
I got it straight from the top
I never know when to stop
I'm crazy as they come
They say there's no way that I
Could go so soon
But they've never kissed the moon
Eyes like L.A., eyes like L.A.
Lips just like Japan
It's gonna take all goddamn day
To get these cats into my truck
I'm gonna drive all night
So I'll be there when you wake up
Eyes like L.A., eyes like L.A.
Lips just like Japan
I'm gonna take all of my hopes
Pour 'em right into your cup
I wanna be beside you
When they can't wake you up
Eyes like L.A., eyes like L.A.
