lyrics

Let’s go to LA and buy new bodies for cheap
let’s go to New York and build our dreams out of concrete, baby
let’s go to Vegas and not tell no one we came
let’s go back home and see how much we’ve changed

Let’s build up an empire and tell the whole world how to live
Or write a book of prayers and poems and teach the world to forgive
Let’s pray to God that our side wins
let’s forget what we learned and do it all over again

chorus:
Well I pray that your dreams come true
and oh, how I wish I could make this easier for you
well I say all these things and I mean well
oh, honey baby, only time will tell

Let’s turn a film about the cruelest century
let’s listen and watch as people talk
about how they’d never do those things
let’s promise the moon and stars to ourselves
let’s screw up big and blame it on someone else

chorus

Let’s go to LA and buy new bodies for cheap
let’s go to New York and build our dreams out of concrete, baby
let’s go to Vegas and not tell no one we came
let’s go back home and see how much we’ve changed
oh, baby

Beck’s songs span from indie folk to classic country and tell of the American heartland and a forgotten epoch. With catchy melodies and sophisticated compositions, most songs find their depth in the personal, moving narrative. ... more
