San Luis Obispo Lyrics - Magic Hour - Scissor Sisters

Well she left me here halfway 

Between the bright lights of Los Angeles 

And the tawdry nights of San Jose 

With Ecstacy and Ivory Wave 

And a backpack full of Captain Jack 

To take me to an early grave 

And I've never been to paradise 

Standing on this corner by myself 

You don't have to tell me twice 

And the world's not gonna end 

If I could just pretend 

That here's a place to go 

San Luis Obispo 

And the streets may look the same 

Of any town by any name 

Gonna find my afterglow 

San Luis Obispo 

The difference between delight 

And loneliness could be a one way flight 

In these San Luis Obispo nights 

Where no one seems to mind 

If you string your words together with 

Kool cigarettes and sparkling wine 

Keep the conversation light 

Wait until the girls get under-dressed 

And then the talk gets less polite 

And I could stay here all my days 

But will I spend my life deciding if 

Happiness is just a phase 

And I hope that I'm not wrong 

Maybe here's where I belong 

Every winter free of snow 

San Luis Obispo 

But if she's coming back again 

I would flee but until then 

Every day my love it grows 

San Luis Obispo 

The difference between delight 

And loneliness is never black or white 

In these San Luis Obispo nights 

Sorry you misunderstood 

This kid with his intentions good 

When all I had was two feet left to stand 

And if you're coming back through town 

Put your ear down to the ground 

Cause this boy's voice has changed into a man's 

And I hope that I'm not wrong 

Baby here's where I belong 

Every winter free of snow 

San Luis Obispo 

But if she's coming back again 

I would flee but until then 

Every day my love it grows 

San Luis Obispo 

The difference between delight 

And loneliness could be a one way flight 

In these San Luis Obispo nights
