L.A. Sound

I’m just no good for anyone, just usually last a month
Before I think that the lighting’s all wrong
So I’ll make a quick getaway, I’m going straight to L. A
And pray the city can mutilate me
Anything to keep you away, to keep the phone calls at bay
'Cause I just don’t know if I can do this
Babe, you know it’s you I adore, you know that I’m wanting more
But if California don’t want me, then no one can
Los Angeles, please take my life;
Give me my face, renew my sight
And should I die before I wake?
The last thing I’ll see is her face
If I should live for other days, I pray for 3000 ways
To make my mind is racing all the time
'Cause if I stop for a sec, I’ll stop for drinking and sex
And I’ll be dead by the time I’m twenty-eight
Self-medication is bliss, I’m insecure about this
A lonely view with the birds is what I’ll miss
You know that my idle brain will just keep searching for fame
'Til I don’t even remember my own name
Los Angeles, please take my life
Give me my face, renew my sight
And should I die before I wake?
The last thing I’ll see is her face
Like maybe I don’t have to leave
But what happens if she leaves me?
And since I just can’t hold it down
I’ll fall in love with the L.A. sound
I’m praying I had the time to drop a line
I’m coming back to the Southeast for what’s mine
And since I just can’t hold it down
I fall in love with the L.A. sound
Los Angeles, please take my life
Give me my face, renew my sight
And should I die before I wake?
The last thing I’ll see-
Los Angeles, please take my life
Give me my face, renew my sight
And should I die before I wake?
The last thing I’ll see is her face
Like maybe I don’t have to leave
But what happens if she leaves me?
And since I just can’t hold it down
I’ll fall in love with the L.A. sound
