Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, you went to L.A., first time under the law Yeah, your head jumped fun, so you thought it's time to move on But the pretty girls from the underworld made it easier said than done Yeah, soon enough, you were hanging out, you were back where you'd begun But maybe it's alright now [Verse 2] Well, it rained three days, so the street began to flood Everyone took off, they said they'd had enough Since 26, since 40 licks, you'd been moving through the fog Yeah, you never said what you really meant, did you think that it would stop? But, baby, it's alright now Baby, it's alright now [Chorus] By the pinball lights, you got petrified Your glass in hand, you're staring at the walls You could try to change, but you just stay strange And drink away the emptiness Paranoid the SAS will end the game by kicking in your door [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] By the pinball lights, you got petrified Your glass in hand, just staring at the walls Yeah, you just stay strange, and you call her name Well, sonny, she can't hear you anymore Sonny, she can't hear you anymore [Verse 3] When the lights go down on Broadway I could still hear all the things you used to say From out my window Watch the fires burn down the road At times, I wonder if you're listening Now I know At times, I wonder if you hear me Now I know
