Lyrics

Across the desert, across the river
Over the fences we trespassed
Three counties northward we lay our blanket
For our first night in Los Angeles

'Neath power lines and palm trees
Among saints and thieves
'Neath smoggy skies and movie marquees
Dream with me

Some will call us this city's problem
Some will call us the enemy
But hear me love, you're no illegal
For there is a law higher than these

Power lines and palm trees
These saints and thieves
These smoggy skies and movie marquees
So, dream with me

From Pico Union to Campo de Cahuenga
From the cathedrals to the underpasses
From La Migra to the missionaries
We'll find the angels this city promises all

So, go to sleep love knowing this strange place
Will be our new home when you awake

'Neath power lines and palm trees
Among saints and thieves
'Neath smoggy skies and movie marquees
Dream with me
