The Lonely are Legend

Deadpan Dolores, Al Wheeler

People come from miles to Southern California
Looking for a brand new start
Some come for the fun
And some come for the sun
And some come to mend a broken heart
They arrive on the coast
Pursued by a ghost
To find they've reached a phony dead-end
But when the sun and the money dies
They begin to realize
That even in Southern California, the lonely are legend

People all wear smiles in Southern California
They say they're going to be a wheel someday
Some feed on the fame
And some they need the game
But most don't have no feel for the play
Your voice in the crowd
Begins to sound loud
And you know deep down it's only pretend
But when the people drift away
You'll discover why they say
That even in Southern California, the lonely are legend
That even in Southern California, the lonely are legend
