To Live And Die In L.A.
Lullaby
Wake Up, Stop Dreaming
Wait
City Of The Angels
The Red Stare
Black-Blue-White
Every Big City
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
(x4)
Let's go out tonight
Put on your shoes
Get away from here
Far from the local blues
Let's go out tonight
Let's make our escape
From the city lights
And all the familiar shapes
We can drive all night
We can stop in a field
Hear the starlight
Traveling for millions of years
Sing a lullaby to the night (x2)
We can rock and roll
We can dance all night long
To the stars above
And we won't be strong
We can walk away
To the rising dawn
As people go to work
Wondering why our clothes are torn
Sing a lullaby to the night (x2)
We'll be driving through the mountains
In the cool and clearing air
With the sunlight on the ocean
And the diamonds in your hair
And as you're falling asleep
I will sing you a lullaby
Sing your lullaby (x2)
We can find a place
For the sun and the rain
We can live a life
Like a hurricane
On a mountain top
Or right by the sea
As long as we're together
It don't matter to me
Let's go out tonight
Let's escape
Sing your lullaby (x2)
As the perfumes of the evening
Mingle sweetly with the night
We'll lay ourselves down
In the light of the moon
And we'll hold each other tight
And as you're falling asleep
I will sing you a lullaby
Wake up, stop dreaming
The sun is in the sky again
There's a hole in the ocean
And water's pouring through
Oh, wake up stop dreaming
And wipe the sleep from your eyes
Are you frightened of heights
Are you falling
Chorus:
Wake up stop dreaming
There's more than just two steps to heaven
I'm saying if you wanna get to heaven
You'd better wake up
Wake up, stop dreaming
I'm talkin' 'bout dream and reality
I'm talkin' 'bout love and brutality
And I'm saying wake up
Wake up
Wake up stop dreaming
Before the shutters start to groan
Well it's something you said in the noon day sun
But I don't recall,
I don't recall
Wake up stop dreaming
Stop this seeming half reality
Don't turn your face away
Look at me
As you lie sleeping
Someone's keeping everything I knew
Don't try to run away
It's all new
(chorus)
