I left my city for San Francisco
Took a free ride off a billionaire's jet
L.A., I'm from nowhere, who am I to love you?
(From The Audiobook: Violet Bent Backwards Over The Grass)
I left my city for San Francisco
Took a free ride off a billionaire's jet
L.A., I'm from nowhere, who am I to love you?
L.A., I've got nothing, who am I to love you when I'm feeling this way and I've got nothing to offer?
L.A., not quite the city that never sleeps
Not quite the city that wakes, but the city that dreams, for sure
If by dreams you mean in nightmares
L.A., I'm a dreamer, but I'm from nowhere, who am I to dream?
L.A., I'm upset, I have complaints, listen to me
They say I came from money and I didn't, and I didn't even have love, and it's unfair
L.A, I sold my life rights for a big check and I'm upset
And now I can't sleep at night and I don't know why
Plus, I love Zac, so why did I do that when I know it won't last?
L.A., I picked San Francisco because the man who doesn't love me lives there
L.A., I'm pathetic, but so are you, can I come home now?
Daughter to no one, table for one
Party of thousands of people I don't know at Delilah where my ex-husband works
I'm sick of this, but can I come home now?
Mother to no one, private jet for one
Back home to the Tudor house that borned a thousand murder plots
Hancock Park, it's treated me very badly and resentful
The witch on the corner, the neighbor nobody wanted
The reason for Garcetti's extra security
L.A., I know I'm bad, but I have nowhere else to go, can I come home now?
I never had a mother, will you let me make the sun my own for now, and the ocean my son?
I'm quite good at tending to things despite my upbringing, can I raise your mountains?
I promise to keep them greener, make them my daughters, teach them about fire, warn them about water
I'm lonely, L.A., can I come home now?
I left my city for San Francisco
And I'm writing from the Golden Gate Bridge
But it's not going as I planned
I took a free ride off a billionaire and brought my typewriter and promised myself that I would stay but
It's just not going the way that I thought
It's not that I feel different, and I don't mind that it's not hot
It's just that I belong to no one, which means there's only one place for me
The city not quite awake, the city not quite asleep
The city that's still deciding how good it can be
And also
I can't sleep without you
No one's ever really held me like you
Not quite tightly, but certainly I feel your body next to me
Smoking next to me
Vaping lightly next to me
And I love that you love the neon lights like me
Orange in the distance
We both love that
And I love that we have that in common
Also, neither one of us can go back to New York
For you, are unmoving
As for me, it won't be my city again until I'm dead
Fuck the New York Post
L.A., who am I to need you when I've needed so much, asked for so much?
But what I've been given, I'm not sure yet
I may never know that either until I'm dead
For now, though, what I do know
Is, although, I don't deserve you
Not you at your best and your splendor
With towering eucalyptus trees that sway in my dominion
Not you at your worst
Totally on fire, unlivable, unbreathable, I need you
You see, I have no mother
And you do
A continental shelf
A larger piece of land from where you came
And I?
I'm an orphan
A little seashell that rests upon your native shores
One of many, for sure
But because of that, I surely must love you closely to the most of anyone
For that reason, let me love you
Don't mind my desperation
Let me hold you, not just for vacation
But for real and for forever
Make it real life
Let me be a real wife to you
Girlfriend, lover, mother, friend
I adore you
Don't be put off by my quick-wordedness
I'm generally quite quiet
Quite a meditator, actually
I'll do very well down by Paramhansa Yogananda's realization center, I'm sure
I promise you'll barely even notice me
Unless you want to notice me
Unless you prefer a rambunctious child
In which case, I can turn it on, too
I'm quite good on the stage as you may know
You might have heard of me
So either way, I'll fit in just fine
So just love me by doing nothing
And perhaps, by not shaking the county line
I'm yours if you'll have me
But regardless, you're mine
（从有声书：紫向后弯曲过草地）
我离开了我所在的城市旧金山
拿着免费乘车掀起了亿万富翁的喷气
洛杉矶，我不知从哪儿来的，我是谁爱你吗？
洛杉矶，我已经没有什么，我是谁爱你的时候，我感觉这样的，我什么都没有优惠？
洛杉矶，不太不夜城
不太城市，尾迹，但城市梦，肯定
如果梦中，你在做恶梦的意思
湖人，我是一个梦想家，但我不知从哪儿来的，我是谁的梦？
洛杉矶，我心烦意乱，我有抱怨，听我说
他们说，我从钱到了，我没有，我甚至没有爱，这是不公平
L.A，我卖我的生活的权利的巨额支票，我很心烦
现在我不能在晚上睡觉，我不知道为什么
另外，我很喜欢扎克，所以我为什么这样做，当我知道这不会持续？
洛杉矶，我挑了旧金山，因为谁不爱我的人住在这里
洛杉矶，我很可怜，也有你的，我可以回家了吗？
女儿没人，桌子一
的人民党数千我不知道在哪里大利拉我的前夫作品
我讨厌这一点，但现在我可以回家？
母亲没人，私人飞机一个
回到家里的都铎房子活着出生一千谋杀阴谋
汉考克公园，它是对我非常不好和不满
在角落里的女巫，邻居没人要
原因Garcetti的额外的安全性
洛杉矶，我知道我不好，但我无处可去，我可以回家了吗？
我从来没有妈妈，你让我做太阳我自己现在和海洋我的儿子？
我在，尽管我的成长趋向东西挺好的，我可以提高你的山？
我保证他们更环保，让他们我的女儿，他们传授火，警告他们水
我很寂寞，洛杉矶，现在我可以回家？
我离开了我所在的城市旧金山
而我从金门大桥写
但是，它不会因为我的计划
我参加了一个免费乘车掀起了亿万富翁，把我的打字机，并承诺自己说我会留下，但
它只是不会的方式，我认为
这并不是说我的感觉不同，我不介意，这不是热
只是，我不属于任何一个，这意味着只有一个地方我
这个城市还没有清醒过来，这个城市不太睡着
这仍然决定它有多好，可以成为城市
并且
我无法入睡没有你
没有人曾经真正抱着我喜欢你
不太紧密，但肯定我觉得自己的身体在我旁边
旁边吸烟我
Vaping轻轻地在我身边
我爱你爱的霓虹灯像我
橘子中的距离
我们都爱
我喜欢，我们有一个共同的
此外，我们中的一个也不能回纽约
对你来说，是一动不动
至于我，也不会是我的城市再次直到我死
他妈的纽约邮报
湖人，我是谁需要你的时候，我需要这么多，问这么多？
但是，我一直在考虑什么，我还不确定
我可能永远不知道，要么直到我死
现在，虽然，我知道的
是，虽然，我不值得你
不是你在你最好和你的辉煌
高耸的桉树，在我的统治动摇
不是你在你最糟糕的
完全就火了，无法生存，无法呼吸，我需要你
你看，我没有妈妈
你也是
大陆架
从你来到其中较大的一块土地
和我？
我是个孤儿
小贝壳是搁在你的原生海岸
其中很多的，肯定的
但是，正因为如此，我一定要紧紧爱你最的人
出于这个原因，让我爱你
不要介意我的绝望
让我抱着你，不只是度假
但对于真正的和永远
让它现实生活
让我成为一个真正的妻子给你
女友，情人，母亲，朋友
我崇拜你
不要被我快速wordedness被推迟
我一般很安静
相当多的禅修，实际
我会Paramhansa Yogananda的实现中心做的非常好了，我敢肯定
我保证你会几乎察觉我
مگر در مواردی که شما می خواهید به من متوجه
مگر در مواردی که شما ترجیح می دهید یک کودک غیر قابل کنترل
که در این صورت، من می توانم آن را روشن، TOO
من کاملا خوب بر روی صحنه هستم همانطور که می دانید
ممکن است شما از من شنیده
بنابراین در هر صورت، من در فقط خوب مناسب
پس فقط من با انجام هیچ چیز را دوست دارم
و شاید، با تکان دادن خط شهرستان نیست
من مال تو هستم اگر شما به من دارند
اما بدون در نظر گرفتن، مال من هستی
