City of Angels

It's going down tonight in this town

Cause they stare and growl

They all stare and growl

I take a scar every time I cry

Cause it ain't my style, no it ain't my style

Going down to the gravel, head to the barrel

Take this life and end this struggle

Los Angeles, come scam me please

Emptiness never sleeps at Clifton's 6am

With your bag lady friend and your mind descending

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



It's a ghost town, rabid underworld

Dionysian night, vitriolic twilight

A mirage comes up, it never ends

Once you get burnt you're never the same

Left behind, erased from time

Ain't no decency in being boxed up alive

Look around, ain't no R.I.P. signs here

We don't rest in peace

We just disappear



So here we are, Los Angeles

No angels singing in your valley of unease

I watch the sun roll down the Pacific

Over hookered sunset strip



There's a black moon tonight

Ain't shining down on the western neon lights



They say this is the city

The city of angels

All I see is nothing
