The moon
The moon
The moon
The colour of old bone
Was full
And low
The day i left L.A.
Before
The sun
Had even faded
L.A.
L.A.
L.A.
Delightful and deranged
Deranged
Deranged
Your ugly neon veins
They find a hole
And penetrate it
I've got to go
I can't stay
I've lost my way
The taste is on my lips
There is no other taste as sweet as this
Another night, another mess
Is what I've come to
I ask myself again
Is what I've given up worth what I get
When I'm too far to be close
But I'm too close to be this far away from you?
I've got to go
I can't stay
It's just my way
To start a fire
Then run away
And leave the ashes to
Blow into someone else's face
Over water, over stone
5000 miles and counting and and counting
Nothing to show
Into your arms
Into your arms
I'm coming home
It's you
It's you
It's you
Yours is the heart i twist the knife into
10,000 miles and falling
It's you I'm coming home to
I've got to go
I can't stay
It's just my way
To start a fire
Then run away
And leave the ashes to
Blow into someone else's face
Watch the catastrophe turn into someone else's
