El Cerrito Place Songtext
von Charlie Robison

I been hangin′ round this place
I been lookin' through your space
I been waitin′ for you
I've been waitin' for you

All the places you would go
All the people that you know
I′ve been lookin′ for you
I've been lookin′ for you

And all them pretty people
Up on El Cerrito Place
They all got somethin' in their pockets
All got somethin′ on their face

They roll down to La Brea
Where it meets the Boulevard
Singin' Hallelujah while they dance over the stars
They all think they′re goin' far


Me, I've been lookin′ for you, baby
I′ve been lookin' for you, baby
I′ve been lookin' for you, baby
I′ve been lookin' for you, baby
All night long, all night long, all night long

Somebody said they might have seen you
Where the ocean meets the land
So I′ve been out here all night
Lookin' for your footprints in the sand

Did you hear the ocean singing?
Baby, did you sing along
As you danced over the water to some ol' forgotten song?
Were you even here at all?

Me, I′ve been lookin′ for you, baby
I've been lookin′ for you, baby
I've been lookin′ for you, baby
I've been lookin′ for you, baby
All night long, all night long, all night long

Somehow I wound up in the desert
Just after daylight
There's a Joshua Tree
Grows that little place you always liked


These pioneer town people
They ain't got too much to say
And if they might have seen you
They ain′t givin′ you away
Now it's been two days

Me, I′ve been lookin' for you, baby
I′ve been lookin' for you, baby
I′ve been lookin' for you, baby
I've been lookin′ for you, baby
All night long, all night long, all night long

I think I′ll go back to the city
Back to El Cerrito Place
That's the last time that I saw
That pretty smile upon your face

I′ve been lookin' for you, baby
