L.A.

Lady Luck and sister Vanity
They were not easy to ignore
Opened up a door and let me in
Lost my reason, lost my sanity
Started doing things I'd never done before
Became a Hollywood star for the crowds to adore

But just as the wheel of fortune spin
Those two good friends deserted me
|Left me in this oasis, surrounded by faces
Laughin' at me, well it's hell when you're down
in L.A.

They say the sweetest things
They'll give you everything
Your wildest dreams
The power of Kings
What a shame
She whispers promises, she softly sings
Until her final sting
Takes everything

Lost myself in her profanity
Oh she was so easy to explore
Gave a little more of what I'd been
Lost my home, lost my family
Started sleepin' round on bar-room floors
Became a Hollywood joke
For the crowds to ignore
L.A.

They say the sweetest things
They'll give you everything
Your wildest dreams
The power of Kings
What a shame
She whispers promises, she softly sings
Until her final sting
Takes everything

They say the sweetest things
They'll give you everything
Your wildest dreams
The power of Kings
What a shame
She whispers promises, she softly sings
Until her final sting
Takes everything
