lyrics

When we left the East Coast we had dreams as big as waves.
All the things New York tears apart, California saves.

Got the house on Venice Beach.
Met Beck and PTA.
Taxi ride to Paramount – two-picture deal, they say.

But Beck said The Church had a grip on the life that he longed to be running from.
Celebrity Centre could fade into dust.

What the hell are we running from?

Down Pacific Coast Highway with Steely Dan on loud.
Everything looks perfect but that single darkened cloud.

“Honey, that’s the phone ringing. Can you see who it is?”
Breathing down the line were men we’re told do not exist.

The neighbours are rats and they killed all the cats.
The ceiling is coming in.

I know The Church.
I’m au fait with their work.
The ceiling is coming in.

There’s men hid in cars.
There are demons in bars.
Who the hell are we running from?

The letter says ‘go’.
Where that means, I don’t know.
What the hell are we running from?

Hollywood begged me to come!
What the hell have we done?
What we gonna do?

They’re being told what to say by the CIA!
What we gonna do?

Tom Cruise has put in a word on behalf of The Church!
What we gonna do?

We gotta get outta here, baby.
