Sweet L.a.

Sweet L.A.

I gave my broken soul to you

Sweet L.A.

Why do you hurt me like you do?

I keep running and rushing to catch a clue

To the mystery of your dark heart

I could never have known

From the signs I was shown

That the game was rigged from the start

Sweet L.A.

All of these trials you've put me through

Sweet L.A.

Why do you hurt me like you do??

Underneath all the glamour and flashing lights

There are shadows nobody sees

In the dim of your dusk

You're a cold bloody husk

Spreading poison into the breeze

Sweet L.A.

Why do you hurt me like you do?

Open the oldest wounds

These memories haunt me

Your secrets and crooked smiles

They torment and taunt me

I long for atonement's arms

Carry me back

But the reel keeps on spinning loose and the screen

Is fading to black

Sweet L.A.

I gave my broken soul to you

Sweet L.A.

Why do you hurt me like you do?
