Los Angeles Lyrics

After passing out in Tennessee

I wake up in Los Angeles

"Look Ma, I'm finally free"

No-one holding on to me

See, you and me

We're friends of the night

Closing bar after bar

Until morning light

We've seen things you'll never see

Far less even believe

Do you ever sometimes wish you could

Go back to when your life was good

Instead of doing all the other things you should…?

We were always meant to be together

You stole my heart in Bronson Canyon

I didn't think that life could ever get better

When we were Bulleit-proof in the Frolic Room

I swear this boulevard goes on forever…

Laid out in stars, my journey here was everclear

Oh, Los Angeles

Imagine living up in the hills

Solving all your problems with pills

Living a life of abandon

Fast cars, cheap thrills

I'm the closest that I'll ever be

Sitting in Boardner's on North Cherokee

Tarot cards on the floor

Last call, "Two more…"

This isn't what I came here to see

But there's no place that I'd rather be

When the Chateau Marmont piano sounds so sweet…

Everybody's trying to get clean

Passing round the 714s

In a Studio City motel room

Wondering what it all means

Do you ever sometimes wish you could

Go back to when your life was good

Instead of paying to play West Hollywood…?

This isn't what I came here to see

But there's no place that I'd rather be

Sunset drunk, look what you've done to me…

Oh, Los Angeles
