in a matter of time there ll be a friend of mine going to come to the coast you re going to see him up close for a minute or two while the ground cracks under you by the look in your eyes you d think that it was a surprise but you seem to forget something somebody said about the bubbles in the sea and an ocean full of trees and you now l a uptight city in the smog city in the smog don t you wish that you could be here too don t you wish that you could be here too don t you wish that you could be here too well it s hard to believe so you get up to leave and you laugh at the door that you heard it all before oh it s so good to know that it s all just a show for you but when the suppers are planned and the freeways are crammed and the mountains erupt and the valley is sucked into cracks in the earth will i finally be heard by you l a uptight city in the smog city in the smog don t you wish that you could be here too don t you wish that you could be here too don t you wish that you could be here too
