Mulholland's gold and you're awake, babe
The season's gray
You drive real fast and I can tell that it's just not your lucky day
Or so they say
Boulevard boy, give me nothing, you're the one I chose
And so it goes
Baby, ah
The light stays longer when it rains, babe
Ain't that a shame? Ah
Take me out to the race, toast our mistakes

And I hate to say I spent it all on masquerades
Oh and I, I'd forgotten how it goes
Flash a smile while the traffic slows
Take a seat while I trample out the days

Ah, baby
Your eyes grow cold into the night, babe
You start to fade
You had your reasons, [but I'm telling you that seasons always change
Hold it up 'till the day, wish it all away

And I hate to say I spent it all on masquerades
Oh and I, watch me waving as I go
Bury my heart at the rodeo
Take a seat while I trample out the days
