City of Angels

It's goin' down, tonight in this town

'Cause they stare and growl

They all stare and growl

I take a scar every time I cry

'Cause that ain't my style

No, it ain't my style

Goin' down to the gravel, head to the barrel

Take this life and end this struggle

Los Angeles, don't scare me, please

Emptiness never sleeps, at Clifton's, 6 a.m.

With your bag lady friend and your mind descendin'

Stripped of the right to be a human in control

It's warmer in Hell, so down we go

They say this is the city

The city of angels, all I see is dead wings

They say this is the city

The city of angels, all I see is dead wings

It's a ghost town, rabid underworld

Dionysian night, vitriolic twilight

A mirage come up, it never ends

Once you get burnt, you're never the same

Left behind, erased from time

Ain't no decency in bein' boxed up alive

Look around, ain't no RIP signs here

We don't rest in peace, we just disappear

So here we are, Los Angeles

No angels singin' in your valley of unease

I watch the sun roll down the Pacific

Over hookin' Sunset Strip

They say this is the city

The city of angels, all I see is dead wings

They say this is the city

The city of angels, all I see is dead wings

There's a black moon tonight, it's shinin' down

On the western neon lights

There's a black moon tonight shinin' down

On the western neon lights

They say this is the city

The city of angels, all I see is dead wings

They say this is the city

The city of angels, all I see is dead wings

They say this is the city

The city of angels, all I see is dead wings

They say this is the city

The city of angels, all I see is dead wings
