Tinseltown in the Rain


Information:
  • During a promo video for Lifelines Andrea said the following about Tinseltown in the Rain:
    I used to listen to that record when we were touring. And it just reminds me of my... My bunk on the tour bus was in the right at the front at the bottom. So you'd feel every bump feel every bump over the road in your little crypt. I'd be listening to that in there, probably on my way to tinseltown in the rain. The key to that song, or to me the line in that song, is definitely, "Here we all are caught up in this big rhythm." And that's what I'm thinking when I'm on the bus is like the whole world is outside. It's exciting.
    And we all are just living in this moment, and it's like a euphoric moment, a moment where it rains where it shouldn't rain. So that you're all aware that you're completely out of control. Life and everything is beyond your control; you don't know what's going to happen every minute. And you kind of all lose it in a good way.

Lyrics:
Why did we ever come so far?
I knew I'd seen it all before
Tall building reach up in vain
Tinseltown is in the rain
I know now love was so exciting

Tinseltown in the rain
Oh men and women, here we are,
Caught up in this big rhythm

One day this love will all blow over
Time for leaving the parade
Is there a place in this city
A place to always feel this way
And hey, there's a red car in the fountain

Tinseltown in the rain
Oh men and women, here we are,
Caught up in this big rhythm

Do I love you? Yes I love you
Will we always be happy go lucky?
Do I love you? Yes I love you
But it's easy come, and it's easy go
All this talking is only bravado yeah

Oh, Tinseltown

Tinseltown in the rain
Oh men and women, here we are,
Caught up in this big rhythm
Tinseltown in the rain
Oh men and women, here we are,
Caught up in this big rhythm
Tinseltown is in the rain
Tinseltown is in the rain
Tinseltown is in the rain
Tinseltown is in the rain

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Do I love you? Yes I love you
Will we always be happy go lucky?
Do I love you? Yes I love you
But it's easy come, and it's easy go
All this talking, talking is only bravado

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Tinseltown is in the rain
Tinseltown is in the rain
Tinseltown is in the rain
Tinseltown is in the rain
