San Luis Obispo - Scissor Sisters

Well she left me here halfway

Between the bright lights of Los Angeles

And the tawdry nights of San Jose

With Ecstasy 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

And here’s a place to go

San Luis Obispo

And the streets they 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

It’s where no one seems to mind

If you string words together with

Kool cigarettes and sparkling wine

Keep the conversation light

Wait until the girls get underdressed

Then the talk gets less polite

And I could stay here for 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

A 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
