East Los Angeles (We Are Augustines)

The crowd began to wave From the freeway overpass We joined the parade Right behind the marching band You said "Wave back, cause these are the best days of your life." And I said "I know, I can't feel anything" And up, up on the Ferris wheel I can see L.A. and all the freeways I can see your face So close to me And I can dream my dreams And light the night Like a drive-in movie screen (You know....) On a hot summer day We laughed in the Polaroid Counted all the ways, To slow down our time machine And in my mind all I could Think was that love is war And you know I'd surrender anything And up, up on the Ferris wheel I can see L.A. and all the freeways I can see your face So close to me And I can dream my dreams And light the night Like a drive-in movie screen Oh no, I don't want to be another Scar on a bar stool In East Los Angeles.
