In the heat of the dayEvery time you go awayI have to piece my life togetherEvery time you're awayIn the heat of the dayIn the dark of the nightEvery time I turn the lightI feel that God is not in heavenIn the dark of the nightThe dark of the night
I wonder why I live alone hereI wonder why we spend these nights togetherIs this the room I'll live my life foreverI wonder why in LATo live and die in LAI wonder why we waste our lives hereWhen we could run away to paradiseBut I am held in some invisible viceAnd I can't get awayTo live and die in LA
If I let myself goAnd for where I just don't knowI'd maybe hit some cold new riverThat led out to the seaAn unknown seaI'd either swim or I'd drownOr just keep falling down and downI think its that, that makes me quiverJust to keep falling downDown, down, down
I wonder why I live alone hereI wonder why we spend these nights togetherIs this the way I'll live my life foreverI wonder why in LATo live and die in LA
In every word that you sayI feel my freedom slip awayI feel the bars come down around meAnd I can't get awayI can't get away
I wonder why I live alone hereI wonder why we spend these nights togetherIs this the room I'll live my life foreverI wonder why in LATo live and die in LAI wonder why we waste our lives hereWhen we could run away to paradiseBut I am held in some invisible viceAnd I can't get awayTo live and die in LA
I can't get awayTo live and die in LAI can't get awayTo live and die in LAI can't get awayTo live and die in LAI can't get awayTo live and die in LA
