Backslide

Lyrics

Los Angeles take your dreams away Put you on the ground At the end of the day it's your life, your loss If you can't turn the clock around I said, oh, my God, you can have her for that one So you better not miss a shot You're letting yourself get into all kinds of danger Soon enough, you're gonna get caught They had a feeling It was like you had to prove you're one in a million And on top of that junkies are dealing This time the drugs are you and they'll come through It ain't gonna stop 'til they get what they want And I said nobody knows me, I'm all alone I, I, I, I, I, I, I gotta go It's a Hollywood bus stop and the party's over I, I, I, I, I, I, I gotta go John was havin' his homeboy down, so he waited for a ride Then waited to confide in Hollywood's constant backslide With affordable lives and a sunroof, nestled among the filth Frequencies and bad intentions, gotta take it for what it's worth, but I say They had a feeling It was like you had to prove you're one in a million And on top of that junkies still dealing This time the drugs are you and they'll come through It ain't gonna stop 'til they get what they want And I said nobody knows me, I'm all alone I, I, I, I, I, I, I gotta go It's a Hollywood bus stop and the party's over I, I, I, I, I, I, I gotta go Have you ever been haunted by your past? And it will never let you go Will never ever, ever let you go No, I said, they'll never ever, ever let you go Nobody knows me, I'm all alone I, I, I, I, I, I, I gotta go It's a Hollywood bus stop and the party's over I, I, I, I, I, I, I gotta go
