We Try Not To Think About It Now

Where you been

I’ve been waiting at the Rainbow bar

For you Adam

John we’re in LA

What took us so long to come home

We went drinking all night long

Speak of men who are not strong

And we ride

Oh, we outrun time

You and I, we know where to hide

In a three-piece band

With Sarah by our side

Take my hand it will be all right

We try not to think about it now.

Devon and Bruce put the camera on the car

A 1968 Impala

That they got from their grandfather in LA

Nigel and Louise pretend to lose their keys

Film them on Wonderland

And there goes Jarad in the same car

The chances are …

We stayed up talking in the secret garden

Remember the streets we came from

And we ride

Oh, we outrun time

You and I

We know where to hide

On Broadwalk sand

Our footsteps out behind

Under the pier the sound was out of sight

And we try not to think about it now

Why’s that SUV on its side?

Is the driver still alive?

Get us off this freeway.

Down through Culver city.

Jackie and Johnathon take us to a show

We sing a Smiths song we all know

About a ten-ton truck killing all of us

Raven looks like a rock star

Adam and Axel share their vodka

We watch Luna at the Moroccan bar and Lounge

And we try not to think about it now

Silver Lake to Echo Park

Stop to look at trees in someone’s back yard

There’s a sign it says guns inside

There’re guns inside

Forest Lawn for someone Devon knows

There’s a baby racoon at the side of the road

His little brown bones

His little brown bones

His little brown bones

His little brown bones

La with your pink and gold /Is the driver still alive

La orange blossom grove /are there guns inside

La oh La /Is Sarah by myside

La oh La /Will it be all right

LA, oh LA,

LA, oh LA
