Sleepless In Silverlake

We hit the hills and we hit 'em hard
With iron wills and with mastercards
We moved the mountain 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 pumping quarters toward
A place to pause
The walking wounded
Wrap their face in gauze
These kids'll ya just because they can
Their teeth are bleached
And their tits are tanned
Tonight we're gonna stay up late
And stumble towards the day
And try to beat the haze away
L.A
As far as knowing 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
