Week 31 - Koreatown (08​-​06​-​16)

from Song A Week, Volume 1 by James Tristan Redding

/

lyrics

White plywood cross Wilshire and Western
Took what it took to teach me a lesson
Big chunk of stone soaked up the sunshine
Do you daydream of starting all over? Yeah, maybe sometimes

All that you want four walls and a box fan
So why not right here with palm trees and minivans
Life’s like a beach wealth just conjecture
Peace means release the metal detector

Raise up your hands and bow like a deacon
Hope’s all you have practically speaking
Cast iron bench in the shade fresh cup of coffee
One more lead weight on my mind please lift it off me

Nothing but time and fresh out of options
I was holding some strange expectations I decided to drop them
Earth tones and carbon monoxide rising above you
Koreatown open your heart I came here to love you
