Long Beach, California
Long Beach is a city in Los Angeles County in Southern California, on the Pacific coast of the United States. The city is the 36th-largest city in the United States and the seventh-largest in California. As of 2010, its population was 462,257. In addition, Long Beach is the second largest city in the Greater Los Angeles Area (after Los Angeles) and a principal city of the Los Angeles metropolitan area.
The Port of Long Beach is the United States' second busiest container port and one of the world's largest shipping ports. The city also maintains a large oil industry with wells located both underground and offshore. Manufacturing sectors include those in aircraft, car parts, electronic and audiovisual equipment, and home furnishings.
Downtown Long Beach is located approximately 22 miles (35 km) south of Downtown Los Angeles, though the two cities border each other for several miles on Long Beach's southwestern portion. Long Beach borders Orange County on its southeast edge.
Long Beach Boulevard station
Long Beach Boulevard or Long Beach/I-105 is a Los Angeles County Metro Rail station on the Green Line. It is located in the center median of Century Freeway at the interchange with Long Beach Boulevard in Lynwood, California. It is not necessarily named for the city of Long Beach, California (served by the Blue Line) as Metro Rail usually names most of their stations after the nearest major cross streets. In this case, the station, located in Lynwood, is named for Long Beach Boulevard which indeed travels down to Long Beach. The original name for this station was Long Beach Blvd/I-105 and it may still be used in some places.

Long Beach
by: LaaksoI cover myself in water
the pearls are good for me
staying resting on the seaside, resting
the air is good to breathe
clear sky, clear from trouble
this day's meant for me
this day's mine without worries
four o'clock in the morning, walking
singing songs meant just for me
and the full moon lights the night
pale jungle comes to life
by the shooting star I wish
this to last forever on
at a shooting star I wish
this to last forever on
hey sister, won't you count on me
I will never leave until the day I do
hey sister, won't you come with me
there's so much to see, I'll show you all
in the morning breeze, still walking
here's another day
in the boiling midday sun
I hide in the shades to get some rest
and the taste of you and vodka
still here since yesterday
human salt, seasalt in good mixture
making out, making love tonight
four o'clock in the morning, walking
singing songs meant just for you
and the full moon lights the night
your pale eyes comes to life
by the shooting star we wish
this to last forever on
at a shooting star we wish
this to last forever on
hey sister, won't you count on me
I will never leave until the day I do
hey sister, won't you come with me
there's so much to see, I'll show you all
hey sister, won't you come with me
I will never leave until the day I do
hey sister, won't you count on me
I will never leave until the day I
