Lirieke: Cold War Kids. Behave Yourself. Santa Ana Winds.

I've got the roof tied tight
Shiny buildings peak
The LA river swims
Snorkels and knees
Seat belt sticks
in poison heat
My pores are opening

Making headlines again
Santa Anna Winds
Making headlines again
Santa Anna Winds

Take the elevator to the
Getty's highest place
See the cliffs fall to sea
Do an about face
Easter on Olvera Street
girls nursing new babies
in alleyways

In between is a basin
like the Great Divide
where the 110 swallows the 105
Chutes and Ladders leaving me
where I begun
Like Joan Didion

Making headlines again
Santa Anna Winds
Making headlines again
Santa Anna Winds

You tore me up by the roots
and fell silent again
My seeds have blows around
But never land
