Took a green light, and it took us so far past
The colorful town and the things that make sound and
Cynical gaze, the trivial ways
A chemical nightmare, something so strange

A child fell down now, they'd probably say
I wanna be a pine tree, 'cause they never know change and
I make it so far, I give it so loud
I took it all easy, I took it so proud

And I saw them in the daylight, there
And I felt it, on the pitch-black plains
But I'm not there and, I never really was but
I'm really not here either
Never notice, never nodding in the least bit

Look at the moonlight
Yeah, you really can kill the vibe
When I'm off, two 25's
And there's like no drink and drive, and I'm like
Country road, take me home
But this ain't West Virginia
This is LA, I'm on Sunset
Driving home and I'm all alone

I woke up brand-new to a gallery of faces
A family of strangers, etching names into my eyelids
Because I'm brand-new, I forgot about you, but
The memory, it binds us to something carved in the blue

Do-do, you connect all the dots?
Do-do-do, you collect all my thoughts?
Do-do-do, you stop and restart?
Do-do-do, you retain everything?
Do-do, you connect all the dots?
Do-do-do, you collect all my thoughts?
Do-do-do, you stop and restart?
Do-do-do, you retain everything?

Look at the moonlight
Yeah, you really can kill the vibe
When I'm off, two 25's
And there's like no drink and drive, and I'm like
Country road, take me home
But this ain't West Virginia
This is LA, I'm on Sunset
Driving home and I'm all alone

Whoa
And I'm all alone (say)
L.A
Whoa
And I'm all alone (say, ah)
