about

(The Los Angeles Ransom)
Sounds by Joshua Petroni

lyrics

Cold water runs through me
It waterfalls over secret caves
I’m dying, she’s smiling
doesn’t know the misery
Who’ll be the one to fight it out?
Who’ll be the one to leave?
I’m on the bridges, I’m on the knife’s edge
Waiting for courage to set me free.
Singing “ladadedadada”
“Ladadeda” into the sea
I said you were silly for believing in ghosts
But now I see one in front of me
Haunts my mirror, haunts my bed sheets
I know it better than the dreams in me.
I’m begging you to leave the old world behind
It’s a sand trap over the grave
We can talk about Los Angeles each night
But first we got a burning ship for us to save.
Yeah I lost you before we were babies
Yeah I lost you before we were even born
Now all these words seem so silly
Just like all the emotions we brought on during our war
Give me the lights of L.A.
Give me an easy love
Who knew we’d float so distant?
The mighty winds killing our doves?
