I got the roof tied tight
Shiny buildings peak
The L.A. river swims
Snorkels and knees

Seatbelt sticks in poison heat
My pores are opening

Making headlines again
Santa Ana winds
Making headlines again
Santa headlines

Take the elevator to the Getty's highest place
See the cliffs fall to the sea
Do an about face
Easter on Olvera Street
Girls nursing new
Babies in alleyways

In between is a basin like the great divide
Where the 110 swallow the 105
Chutes and ladders leaving nowhere I begun
Like Joan Didion

Making headlines again
Santa Ana Winds
Making headlines again
Santa Ana Winds
Making headlines again
Santa Ana Winds
Making headlines again
Santa Ana Winds

You tore me up by the roots and fell silent again
My seeds have blown around but never land
Tore me up by the roots and went silent again
My seeds have blown around but never land
