People disappear here

Way down the dark alleyway

In somewhere in the garden state

The girl from California waits

She has my name, but not my face

And I

Tried to let her be someone

Hoping when the morning comes

She's not another hit and run

But everybody knows

That people disappear here, ah

People disappear here, ah

People disappear here, ah

People disappear

So, let's say, for goodness sake

That she cleans it up

And finds her way

With a child, an effect of fate

And you pray

And you pray

And you pray

Well now, maybe if you see someone

Hoping, when the evening comes

You're not another hit and run

But everybody knows

That people disappear here, ah

People disappear here, ah

People disappear here, ah

People disappear

I hurt myself to make sure I exist

I pinch myself to make sure that I'm real

I hurt myself to make sure I exist

I need someone to tell me how to feel

'Cause people disappear, ah

People disappear here, ah

People disappear here, ah

People disappear here
