But I'd lived a life in traffic on the 10 and 405

Higher than the palm trees

They say everybody's beautiful and everyone's dumb here

They look at me like I said it by mistake

And sit outside at night on the rose and vine
夜晚坐在外面 置身玫瑰与葡萄藤间
Where the stars in the sky are the city lights
在那里星光取代了城市的灯火
And I'll be safe as long as I'm home by night

To say goodbye to the palm trees
