Temecula Sunrise Lyrics
I live in a new construction home
I live on the strip behind the dealership, yeah I live in a greenhouse and I am getting wasted, yeah Temperature rising I can feel it all the way down And what hits the spot, yeah, like Gatorade? You and me baby, hittin' the spot all night Up in the light of the high Temecula sunrise High Temecula sunrise High Temecula sunrise Definitely you can come and live with us I know there's a space for you in the basement, yeah All you gotta do is help out with the chores and dishes And I know you will Rest assured, comfortable You have nothing The face of earth will be white And after all, yeah, all of it Indian paintbrush and a couple of brown finches Right there in the light of the high Temecula sunrise High Temecula sunrise High Temecula sunrise I welcome the new construction roads I see that my silhouette is golden, yeah I know the horizon is bright and motionless Like an EKG of a dying woman Far away from the light of the high Temecula sunrise High Temecula sunrise High Temecula sunrise

Not white.
I walk along new construction roads.
Not I welcome the new construction roads.
More finches...some conceptual continuity in this song.

In an interview with David Longstreth on Pitchfork, the interviewr asked if DL had ever been to Temecula, California.
This is his answer:
"I've driven through, yeah. As we're driving through it's just like, improbably brand new construction homes as far as the eye could see. [Former Dirty Projector] Susanna [Waiche] was like, "My grandfather and I used to go for picnics up when the flowers would bloom for like two weeks up in the hills here." It was so hard to imagine. My friend James Sumner [the animator who worked on The Getty Address] and I, were talking about how warehouses in the late 20th century were these bohemian zones for artists to camp out and work on their art projects. These disused spaces of a formerly industrial economy, or whatever. We were thinking about the same sort of thing happening when the kind of like social or economic impetus that drove these huge new construction swaths of suburbia and the exurbs of all these American cities. We imagined whole subdivisions would get colonized by these kids who paint the houses like these beautiful, crazy murals and work on their funny escapist utopian art projects in McMansions. [Laughs] So the song is sort of about that."
