it hasn t rained hard for the better part of seven months everyone s listening all i see ahead of me are glistening lights this city stays up at night droning along like a dissonant song by an amateur symphony how come i can only tell you i love you when you re sleeping in the passenger seat and all the fast cars with the broken headlights run the red lights in the canyon and i can taste it the rain is coming to clear the air over los angeles maybe it ll bring the hillside down maybe it ll flood the streets maybe when i tell you that i want you forever i m gonna make a fool of me but i ve got the windows down the heater on my feet and the skies are opening it s gonna come pouring down it s gonna come pouring out i m gonna say everything and all the fast cars with the broken headlights run the red lights in the canyon and i can taste it the rain is coming to clear the air over los angeles the road is winding and it s barely lit you never know how far you re really gonna get but when you live here you just learn to get used to it and all the fast cars with the broken headlights running red lights in the canyon and now it s raining the haze is drowning the air is clear over los angeles the air is clear over los angeles the air is clear over los angeles
