War On The East Coast
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Last night I dreamt
Vancouver dressed up in the ocean
Last night I dreamt
Victoria drowned in the ocean
The ride of a lifetime
The rites of spring of a lifetime
The ride of a lifetime
The rites of spring of a lifetime
Blondes, brunettes, paper jets
Blondes, brunettes, paper jets
Star power, star power
The king bent over to smell a flower
I wanted to go home with you
I wanted to stay true to the cause
But look what we're living in
It's war on the east coast
It's war out west
Oh, I don't care
I don't care
I get it way back
I worked on it all day
A girl only noted
[?] goes the wrong way
Wild gypsy ship
Never knew what hit
I wanted to go home with you
I wanted to stay true to the cause
But look what we're living in
It's war on the east coast
It's war out west
Oh, I don't care
I don't care
It's war on the east coast
It's war out west
Oh, I don't care
I don't care
I wanted to go home with you
I wanted to stay true to the cause
But look what we're living in
It's war on the east coast
It's war out west
Oh, I don't care
I don't care
