Birthday

Roll down the top and I drive to the beach
Head for the cove where the thirty-foot waves reach
Look down at the world where Mulholland ends
Someday, all this will be yours, my friend
Late at night when the lights are less
Cruise the canyons Las Virgenes

Everyday, everyday’s my birthday
In Los Angeles
Everyday, everyday’s my birthday
In Los Angeles

Open the garage and I play my guitar loud
Back home that would always draw a crowd
Nothing but the rustling, recycling bins
Human raccoons clattering up the cans
I could lose my shirt I could lose my lease
But everywhere they’re pushing fresh strawberries

Everyday, everyday’s my birthday
In Los Angeles
Everyday, everyday’s my birthday
In Los Angeles

I get so tired
Yeah, Yeah
But go go go go go go go!

Radio, lady-o
Where you gonna go go
Follow you down nobody gonna know-oh
Null set, Subset, Hollywood, Sunset
Barbecue Betty, sweet-cheek Conquest
Hey, Mr. Cool, Mr. Neighborhood Cool Cat
Meet you at the water’s edge, thirty minutes flat

Everyday, everyday’s my birthday
In Los Angeles
Everyday, everyday’s my birthday
In Los Angeles
Everyday, everyday’s my birthday
In Los Angeles
