lyrics

Hello, Friday night.
I’m going to the god damn valley.
You don’t treat me right,
but you’re cheaper than a good idea.

The 101 at night beckons
like a long grey finger.

I thought that no direction
would give me some protection
from the worst sign in the zodiac
but I just keep going back

to North Hollywood
I was hallucinating
the radio told me to turn around
North Hollywood
where someone’s always waiting
to detail how I always let them down
to tell me how I wasted all their time
eventually I’ll leave it all behind
in North Hollywood

Nothing here to hide
You read me like an open coffin
When I looked inside
I didn’t want to see myself

I fell before your pride
the little lamb believed her lion

We were just a little hiccup
nothing to be proud of
Got my gas and got out quick
before the sunshine made me sick

to North Hollywood
I was hallucinating
the radio told me to turn around
North Hollywood
where someone’s always waiting
to detail how I always let them down
to tell me how I wasted all their time
eventually I’ll leave it all behind
in North Hollywood

Shaking off the grudge
light another stupid candle
If magic doesn’t judge
why do I still feel condemned?

Habit is a vice
when you don’t know why you do it

You come through like a beacon
my anger starts to weaken
I’m happy since I don’t know when
but I’m in my car again

Going to North Hollywood.
I was hallucinating
the radio told me to turn around
North Hollywood
where someone’s always waiting
to detail how I always let them down
to tell me how I wasted all their time
eventually I’ll leave it all behind
in North Hollywood.
