There's a fog upon l.a.
and my friends have lost their way
we'll be over soon they said
now they've lost themselves instead.
Please don't be long
please don't you be very long
please don't be long
for i may be asleep.
Now it only goes to show
and i told them where to go
ask a policeman on the street
there's so many there to meet.
Please don't be long
please don't you be very long
please don't be long
for i may be asleep.
Now it's past my bed i know
and i'd really like to go
soon will be the breath of day
sitting here in blue jay way.
Please don't be long
please don't you be very long
please don't be long
for i may be asleep
Please don't be long
please don't you be very long
please don't be long
Please don't be long
please don't you be very long
please don't be long
Please don't be long
please don't you be very long
please don't be long
Don't be long - don't be long - don't be long
don't be long - don't be long - don't be long
