Lyrics for Went to LA

Yes, I still worry about it Out of self-preservation did I begin with tenderness? The cannibal dragged his son into the kitchen Outside, the deaf man fled the barn abandoning every father's image Sure, sure, I went to LA together with my maid She was awfully quiet, her hands were shaking in the donkey's mane I went to LA, searching for my own face I couldn't find it in the dry toothy maw of the lake Heaven is a second (Chance), Heaven is a second— Heaven is a second (Chance), Heaven is a second— Heaven is a second (Chance), Heaven is a second— Heaven is a second (Chance), Heaven is— Thought you summoned horses, thought you summoned childhood Oh, the humiliation of having been perfectly understood If I could observe beyond every open mouth Men always end up telling you the truth, I can see it now See it now Every night is a lesson down a long hallway Good God, this house Get me away Sure, sure, sure I went to LA, what other choices could I make? I sing along the road, an idiotic smile on my face I went to LA, it was easy in the first place Wait, wasn't I with a friend? What difference does it make? The owner of the laundromat gave me a ride home She said she saw me come in alone Heaven is a second (Chance), Heaven is a second— Heaven is a second (Chance), Heaven is a second— Heaven is a second (Chance), Heaven is a second— Heaven is a second (Chance), Heaven is a second— Heaven is a second (Chance), Heaven is a second— Heaven is a second (Chance), Heaven is a second— Heaven is a second (Chance), Heaven is a second Heaven is a second (Chance), Heaven is a second— Heaven is a second— Heaven is a second chance
