The crowd began to wave
From the freeway overpa**
We joined the parade
right behind the marching band
You said
"Wave back, cause these are the best days of your life."
And I said
"I know, I can't feel anything"
And up, up on the Ferris wheel
I can see L.A. and all the freeways
I can see your face
so close to me
And I can dream my dreams
And light the night
like a drive in movie screen
(ya know....)
On a hot summer day
We laughed in the Polaroid
Counted all the ways,
To slow down our time machine
And in my mind all I could
think was that love is war
And you know I'd surrender anything
And up, up on the Ferris wheel
I can see L.A. and all the freeways
I can see your face
so close to me
And I can dream my dreams
And light the night
Like a drive in movie screen
Oh no, I don't want to be another
scar on a bar stool
in East Los Angeles.
