Smoke Signals

I went with you up to the place you grew up in
 We spent a week in the cold
 Just long enough to Walden it with you
 Any longer it would've got old
 Singin' "Ace of Spades" when Lemmy died
 But nothing's changed, L.A.'s alright
 I'm sleepin' in my bed again and gettin' in my head
 And then walk around the reservoir
 You, you must've been lookin' for me
 Sendin' smoke signals
 Pelicans circling
 Burnin' trash out on the beach
 ♪
 One of your eyes is always half-shut
 Something happened when you were a kid
 I didn't know you then and I'll never understand
 Why it feels like I did
 "How Soon Is Now" in an '80s sedan
 You slept inside of it because your dad
 Lived in a campground in the back of a van
 You said that song will creep you out until you're dead
 And you must've been lookin' for me
 Sendin' smoke signals
 Pelicans circling
 Burnin' trash out on the beach
 ♪
 I wanna live at the Holiday Inn
 Where somebody else makes the bed
 We'll watch TV while the lights on the street
 Put all the stars to death
 It's been on my mind since Bowie died
 Just checkin' out to hide from life
 And all of our problems, I'm gonna solve 'em
 With you ridin' shotgun, speeding 'cause fuck the cops
 And you, you must've been lookin' for me
 Sendin' smoke signals
 Pelicans circling
 Burnin' trash out on the beach, mmm
 ♪
 I buried a hatchet, it's comin' up lavender
 The future's unwritten, the past is a corridor
 I'm at the exit, lookin' back through the hall
 You are anonymous, I am a concrete wall
