To Live & Die in L. a.
In the heat of the day
Every time you go away I have to piece my life together
Every time you're away in the heat of the day
In the dark of the night every time I turn the light
I feel that God is not in Heaven
In the dark of the night, dark of the night
I wonder why I live alone here
I wonder why we spend these nights together
Is this the room I'll live my life forever
I wonder why in L.A., to live and die in L.A.
I wonder why we waste our lives here
When we could run away to paradise
But I am held in some invisible vice
And I can't get away, to live and die in L.A.
If I let myself go and for where I just don't know
I'd maybe hit some cold new river that led out to the sea
An unknown sea
I'd either swim or I'd drown or just keep falling down and down
I think it's that, that makes me quiver
Just to keep falling down, down, down, down
I wonder why I live alone here
I wonder why we spend these nights together
Is this the way I'll live my life forever
I wonder why in L.A., to live and die in L.A.
In every word that you say
I feel my freedom slip away
I feel the bars has come down around me
And I can't get away, I can't get away
I wonder why I live alone here
I wonder why we spend these nights together
Is this the room I'll live my life forever
I wonder why in L.A., to live and die in L.A.
I wonder why we waste our lives here
When we could run away to paradise
But I am held in some invisible vice
And I can't get away, to live and die in L.A.
I can't get away, to live and die in L.A.
I can't get away, to live and die in L.A.
I can't get away, to live and die in L.A.
