West Coast Sun Lyrics by Henry Morris
From LA down to blue Long Beach
I could never truly kill the peace
Above LA’s drunken sleep
Below apartments, young girls weep
Angels cry and snap their wings
Heaven stops by, crooked face
I love you ’til I’m six feet deep
‘Til my name is written on body streets
We were both sixteen years alone when I met Maria at the corner store
Teenage bridge, a baby in sight wandering down the beach at night
She wants to run away but not tonight, mm-mm
So I’ll wait for the day I make her mine, all mine
Oh, love of my life, don’t leave me this way
With your taste still in my mouth
I wanna get high and kiss in the rain
I want you on something else
I know you’re no good, I need you so bad
Oh, the world can’t save me now
Oh, love of my life, don’t leave me this way
Where the West Coast sun goes down
Her daddy is an older man
He rolls his cash in a rubber band
To her, he’s got a mean back hand
She swears to him that I’m just a friend
She wants to run away but not tonight, mm-mm
So I’ll wait for the day I make her mine, all mine
Oh, love of my life, don’t leave me this way
With your taste still in my mouth
I wanna get high and kiss in the rain
I want you on something else
I know you’re no good, I need you so bad
Oh, the world can’t save me now
Oh, love of my life, don’t leave me this way
Where the West Coast sun goes down
