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

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



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

I wonder why we waste our lives here

When we could run away to paradise

But I am held in some invisible vice

And I can't get away

To live and die in LA



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

I'd either swim or I'd drown

Or just keep falling down and down

I think its that, that makes me quiver

Just to keep falling down

Down, down, down



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



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



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

I wonder why we waste our lives here

When we could run away to paradise

But I am held in some invisible vice

And 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
