To Live and Die in L.A.

Lyrics

[Verse 1] In the heat of the day, every time you go away I have to piece my life together Every time you're away In the heat of the day [Verse 2] In the dark of the night, every time I turn the light I feel that God is not in Heaven In the dark of the night The dark of the night [Chorus] I wonder why I live alone here I wonder why we spend these nights together Is this the room I'll live my life forever? I wonder why in LA To live and die in LA [Post-Chorus] I wonder why we waste our lives here When we could run away to paradise But I am held in some invisible vise And I can't get away To live and die in LA [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] If I let myself go and for where I just don't know I'd maybe hit some cold new river That led out to the sea An unknown sea [Verse 4] I'd either swim or I'd drown, or just keep falling down and down I think it's that that makes me quiver Just to keep falling down Down, down, down [Chorus] I wonder why I live alone here I wonder why we spend these nights together Is this the way I'll live my life forever? I wonder why in LA To live and die in LA [Verse 5] In every word that you say, I feel my freedom slip away I feel the bars come down around me And I can't get away I can't get away [Chorus] I wonder why I live alone here I wonder why we spend these nights together Is this the room I'll live my life forever? I wonder why in LA To live and die in LA [Post-Chorus] I wonder why we waste our lives here When we could run away to paradise But I am held in some invisible vise And I can't get away To live and die in LA [Outro] I can't get away To live and die in LA I can't get away To live and die in LA I can't get away To live and die in LA I can't get away To live and die in LA I can't get away To live and die in LA I can't get away
