She had to leave, Los Angeles!
All her toys wore out in black and her boys had too,
She started to hate every nigger and jew,
Every mexican that gave her lotta shit
Every homosexual and the idle rich (idle rich)
She had to get out, (get out), get out, (get out), get out, (get out)
She looks confused,
Flying over the dateline,
Her hands turn red.. ..Cause the days change at night,
Change in an instant,
The days change at night,
Change in an instant
She had to leave Los Angeles,
She found it hard to say goodbye to her own best friend,
She bought a clock on hollywood boulevard the day she left
It felt sad, (it felt sad), it felt sad!
She had to get out, (get out), get out, (get out), get out, (get out)
She looks confused,
Flying over the dateline,
Her hands turn red.. ..Cause the days change at night,
Change in an instant,
The days change at night,
Change in an instant,
The days change at night,
Change in an instant

Some say money
Some say a dream
Some get laid on the silver screen
What does faith mean
In the world on the Sunset down
Some say money
Some say fame
Some get a losing hand in the game
What does grace mean
In this world where the guns dies young
Crash'n'burn'n'bleed
Run away with me
Crash'n'burn'n'bleed
Fallen angels on their knees
Crash'n'burn'n'bleed
Take a chance with me
Crash'n'burn'n'bleed
I still love you - Los Angeles
Some say money
Some say dames
Some get sold without the names
What does faith mean
In the world on the Sunset down
Show me honey
No fuckin' shame
Show me your innocence in vain
What does grace mean
In the world where the love dies young
Crash'n'burn'n'bleed
Run away with me
Crash'n'burn'n'bleed
Fallen angels on their knees
Crash'n'burn'n'bleed
Take a chance with me
Crash'n'burn'n'bleed
I still love you - Los Angeles

She said Los Angeles has never been so cold
she said we shouldn't even bother
she said the way things have been going
we've been showing signs of getting better
get her let her know that there is no more time
and that no one ever said forever
leaves you any time
well I'm lost so please get me out of here.
You've gotta be kidding me,
this is killing me,
won't let you throw away this chance of a lifetime,
you and me are so blind.
I'll say nothing
cause there's nothing nice to say this
quick before it loses meaning,
I've lost control and I'm screaming out loud.
I said Los Angeles was eating at her soul,
she said i sound more like her father.
LA could never compare to me.
I'm stalling from calling,
I know that you're bawling deep down in your heart
while we're graciously falling apart

You waited for me
When I was strong
You never called
You waited long
Now I come back
To sleep with you
You love me still
I love you, too
You kept the house
I could not keep
You kissed good night
And went to sleep
Now I come back
To sleep with you
You love me still
I love you, too
Come with me
To that room by the sea
With a view of the moon and Los
Angeles
You're beautiful back then
God, you're beautiful now
Come with me
Yeah, I was strong
I had no choice
The kids grew up
And left the house
But I come back
To sleep with you
You love me still
I love you, too
Come with me
To that room by the sea

I want a girl, girl that won't talk back
And a job, job that gives me slack
And a car, car that won't break down
In the heat of Los Angeles
I want to go, go without a map
Far away, away, I won't get trapped
By the sound, a town, the sun beats down
In the heat of Los Angeles
One more holiday
I will not celebrate
I'm almost desperate
Cause I'm down, I'm down, I'm so beat down
This city's killing me
I want, I want, I want everything
This city's killing me
In the heat of Los Angeles
I want a love, love that won't hit back
Want sex, sex without a catch
Want a face, to trust, to feel, to lust
In the heat of Los Angeles
Want to fuck, fuck, fuck this up
Gonna feel, feel, feel you up
Had enough, enough, enough, enough
In the heat of Los Angeles
This city's killing me
I want, I want, I want everything
This city's killing me
In the heat of Los Angeles
What has become of me?
I want, I want, I want everything
This city's killing me
(I want everything)
Come on, come on
It's alive and breathing
Come on, come on
Come alive today
Come on, come on
It's a heartless beating
The sun is burning down Los Angeles
Los Angeles
Los Angeles
I want a girl, girl that won't talk back
And a job, job that gives me slack
And a car, car that won't break down
In the heat of Los Angeles
Come on, come on
It's alive and breathing
Come on, come on
Come alive today
Come on, come on
It's a heartless beating
The sun is burning down
(This city's killing me)
Come on, come on
It's alive and breathing
Come on, come on
Come alive today
(This city's killing me)
Come on, come on
It's a heartless beating
The sun is burning down Los Angeles (one more holiday)
The sun is burning down Los Angeles (I will not celebrate)
The sun is burning down Los Angeles (one more holiday)
The sun is burning down Los Angeles (I will not celebrate)

Said I've always loved you

Los Angeles
Shameful city
I've been taken by the world below
Los Angeles
No
Here I am again
Watching the world go by
Right before my eyes
All the things I should have known
Have started to hit hard
What you are
What you are
But you won't let go
What you are
But you won't let go
Los Angeles
Shameful city
I've been taken by the world that's down below
Los Angeles
A flickering eye
Casting a silhouette
Someone I used to know
But that person is gone
I gotta try to keep telling myself I got it under control
What you are
What you are
But you won't let go
What you are
But you won't let go
Los Angeles
Shameful city
I've been taken by the world that's down below
Los Angeles
This time's where I remember when
I'd deal with it all over again
Los Angeles
Shameful city
I've been taken by the world that's down below
Los Angeles
Shameful city
I've been taken by the world below
Los Angeles
Los Angeles
Los Angeles

No rest for the wicked
No mercy for the rotten
Go create some madness
More coverage than the homeless
Your image here to stay
Your photo on the cover of
Your photo can't get enough
You and I, we read about it
We idolise the criminal mind
Is there a method in our madness?
And we fantasise of committing crimes
And so we remain
You're taken by the story
No escaping from the glory
Never to be forgotten
Now you're believin' in your press
You're not going anyway
Your Photo on the cover of
Your photo can't get enough
Chorus
And so we remain
And so we became
History remains
History today

I met a man
He was a good man
Sailing and shoring
Dancing the beta can-can
Making me foreign
Oh yeah
I want to live in Los Angeles
Not the one in Los Angeles
No, not the one in South California
The got one in South Patagonia
I want to live in Los Angeles
Not the one in Los Angeles
They got a bunch down in Moleville
They got a bunch more still
I want to live in Los Angeles
Not the one is Los Angeles
They got one in twenty-five two five
Works just like a beehive
I want to live in Los Angeles
Not the one in Los Angeles
Counting helicopters on a Saturday night
The symphony of the fair light
I hear them saying Los Angeles
In all the black and white movies
And if you think they star-spangled us
How come we say Los Angeleez?
I'll wait in Los Angeles
I'll wait in the pouring sun
No way
For not anyone
No way
I met a man
He was a good man
Sailing and shoring
He got a betatron, man
Talking that foreign
Oh yeah
I'll wait in Los Angeles
I'll wait in the pouring sun
No way
For not anyone
No way

I was feelin' down
I was lookin' dead
When she looked at me
With dreamy eyes of red
She could make me move
With a lizard style in Los Angeles
She can make me move in the desert wild
In Los Angeles, baby, if you please
She was six feet tall
In a golden dress
On the silver screen
She really made me a mess
I stole her shadow
Crawl across the room
In Los Angeles
Yeah, I stole her room
On a witch's broom
In Los Angeles
Baby, if you please
And I took a trip with a power man
He took me places, baby, you really can't imagine
Ridin' through the hills
I was flyin' hard
In Los Angeles
I was ridin' crazy
Down the boulevard
In Los Angeles
Baby, if you please
I was ridin' hard
I was ridin' hard
I was ridin' crazy
Down the boulevard
Watch me move now
Yeah, yeah
Wow, wow, wow

[Flight Announcement]
'Flight 101, Super Jet service for Pittsburgh and Los Angeles
will depart from Gate 12. Passengers may proceed into the
gate area for checking...' [faded out echoing]
[Slug]
(Oh yeah) Los Angeles, hot and bothered
Helicopters watch their daughters play parking lot soccer
A whole lot of love from the target's hide
Got a soul looking for a magic carpet ride
Environment, perfect for a hustle
Many people are distracted by the puzzle
And while they're not lookin', the angel got tooken
Welcome to the gray space between fingerprinting and booking
Do your best 'cause the lesson is love
It's enough to keep your head up, another day to get up
Wake up, and let the sun shine through the smog
Free the dialogue 'til everyone believes in God
L.A., to some it's hell, to some it's play
Pay the cover charge and watch what you say
The Barbie doll's caught, body parts come off
And I think she's a he...STOP, look at how it walks
They got the weirdoes, the talent, the beautiful
An arm and a leg for a one-story cubicle
And if the heat don't beat you, the pigs will
Everyone's relaxed, but no one can sit still
Los Angeles... I love it, I love it...
(Lips Glisten... believe 'em.)
'Ooh California highway... California my way.'
