Hollywood

The fires continued through the night
The kid with a bat face appeared at the window
Then disappeared into the headlights

I was halfway to the Pacific Coast
I had left you in your longing
In your yearning like a ghost

There is little room for wonder, now
And little room for wildness too
We crawl into our wounds
I'm nearly all the way to Malibu

I'm gonna buy me a house up in the hills
With a tear-shaped pool and a gun that kills
'Cause they say there is a cougar that roams these parts
With a terrible engine of wrath for a heart
That she is white and rare and full of all kinds of harm
And stalks the perimeter all day long
And at night lays trembling in my arms, in my arms

And I'm just waiting now for my time to come
And I'm just waiting now for my time to come
And I'm just waiting now for my place in the sun
And I'm just waiting now for peace to come

And I'm just waiting now for my time to come
And I'm just waiting now for my time to come
And I'm just waiting now for my place in the sun

Halfway down the Pacific Coast
I left you sleeping like a ghost
In your wounds, wounds

Darling your dreams are your greatest part
I carry them with me in my heart
Darling your dreams were your greatest part
I carry them with me in my heart
Somewhere, don't know

(Ooh)

Now I'm standing on the shore
All the animals roam the beaches
And sea creatures rise out of the sea
And I'm standing on the shore
Everyone begin to run
The kid drops his bucket and spade
And climbs into the sun

(Oh, oh)
(Ooh-oh-ooh)
(Ooh-oh-ooh)

Kisa had a baby but the baby died
She goes to the villagers, says my baby's sick
The villagers they look at her and say
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
You better go into the forest to bury your baby quick

It's a long way to find peace of mind, peace of mind

Kisa goes up the mountain and she asks the Buddha
She says, "My baby's getting sicker
My baby's getting sicker, my baby's getting sicker!"
Buddha says, "Don't cry
He says go to each house and collect a mustard seed
But only from a house where no one's died"

Kisa goes to each house
Says, "My baby's getting sicker, my baby's getting sicker
My baby's getting sicker, my baby's getting sicker
My baby's getting sicker, my baby's getting sicker"
But Kisa never collected one mustard seed
'Cause in every house someone had died

Kisa sits down in the old village square
She hugged her baby and cried and cried
She said, "Everybody is always losing someone"
And then she went into the forest and buried her child

Everybody's losing someone
Everybody's losing someone
It's a long way to find peace of mind, peace of mind
It's a long way to find peace of mind, peace of mind
And I'm just waiting now for my time to come
And I'm just waiting now for peace to come
For peace to come
