Why You'd Want to Live Here-Death Cab for Cutie

[00:00.000] 作词 : Gibbard [00:13.69]I'm in Los Angeles today... [00:16.63]It smells like an airport runway. [00:20.37]Jet fuel stenches in the cabin [00:23.12]And lights flickering at random. [00:32.44]I'm in Los Angeles today... [00:34.00]Garbage cans comprise the medians of freeways always creaping [00:42.31]Even when the population's sleeping. [00:52.94]And I can't see why you'd want to live here. [01:03.75]I'm in Los Angeles today... [01:06.94]Asked a gas station employee if he ever had trouble breathing [01:12.94]And he said "It varies from season to season, kid." [01:23.07]It's where our best are on display... [01:26.19]Motion picture actors' houses [01:29.94]Maps are never ever current [01:36.00]So save your film and $15. [01:46.38]And I can't see why you'd want to live here. [01:50.00]Billboards reach past the tallest buildings, [01:56.60]"We are not perfect - but we sure try." [02:03.72]As UV rays "degraded" our youth with time. [02:15.00] [02:34.16]The vessel keeps pumping us through this zentropic place [02:35.85]In the belly of the beast that is Californ-i-a, [02:39.41]I drank from a faucet and I kept my receipts [02:43.79]For when the weigh me on my way out [02:46.66]Here nothing is free [02:48.65]The greyhounds keep coming [02:51.15]Dumping locusts into the street [02:53.52]Until the gutters overflow [02:54.78]And Los Angeles thinks, [02:58.65]"I might explode someday soon." [03:02.66] [03:19.17]It's a lovely summer's day [03:25.29]And I can almost see a skyline through a thickening shroud of egos. [03:41.92]Is this the city of Angeles or demons? [03:44.30]Here the names are what remain... [03:48.80]Stars encapsulate the gold lame [03:49.86]And they need constant cleaning for when the tourists begin salivating. [04:00.80]You can't swim in a town this shallow - you will most assuredly drown tomorrow.
