How are things on the West Coast?
I hear you moving real fine
You wear those shoes like a dove
Now strut those shoes
We’ll go roaming in the night
Well, how are things on the West Coast?
You keep it moving to your soul’s delight
Now I’ve tried the brakes
I’ve tried but you know it’s a lonely ride
How are things on the West Coast?
Oh and move heaven behind those eyes
Today my heart swings
Yeah, today my heart swings
But I don’t want to take your heart
And I don’t want a piece of history
No I don’t want to read your thoughts anymore
My God…
'Cause today my heart swings
Yeah, today my heart swings
How are things on the West Coast?
Hear you moving real fine tonight
You wear those shoes, I decide
Oh strut those shoes
We’ll go roaming in the night
Well, how are things on the West Coast?
Yeah, but you’re an actress I don’t identify
Today my heart swings
Yeah, today my heart swings
Say it…
But I don’t want to play the part
And I don’t want a taste of victory
No I don’t want to read your thoughts anymore
My God…
'Cause today my heart swings
Yeah, today my heart swings
Say it…
'Cause today my heart swings
Yeah, today my heart swings
Let it come…
'Cause I’ve got a chance for a sweet sane life
I said I’ve got a dance and you’ll do just fine
Well, I’ve got a plan, look forward in my eyes
Let it come…
Well I’ve got a chance for a sweet sane life
I said I’ve got a dance, it moves into the night
Well, I’ve got a plan, look forward in my eyes
Well, today my heart swings
A truly beautiful video: the girl is always out of time compared to the other characters. In their faces we read the tragedy when she is still alive, while then, after the flight of the doves, they go backwards showing a normal appearance, while it is precisely at that moment that the tragedy is about to wear out. The strange thing about this chronological upheaval, is that the girl is the only one who seems to never back down and heads with a smile towards fate! Another surprising thing is that the girl, before continuing to the middle of the road, looks towards the bartender who is rushing just to see the incident already happened!! In the original video, in the last seconds, you could also hear the noise of the impact and the cries of people horrified by the crash (some censorships, as well as illegitimate, are really ridiculous).
