Liza Forever Minnelli

There's the part you've braced yourself against and then

There's the other part

Steal up inclining northward streets with some

Weird sickness in the dark

Saw your name on the sidewalk

Saw your brave face in my mind

If you're gonna sit next to the dealer

You get to bet blind

Never get away never get away I am never ever gonna get away from this place

Lay down on the street my eyes toward the sun your star next to my face

The compasses I came into this world with

Never really worked so good

Gentle shadows spilling down the hills

Up on Mulholland at Ledgewood

Turn back turn back

Find someone to tell your secrets to

Dream past an old hotel on Ivy

And seconds later I saw you

Never get away never get away I am never ever gonna get away from this place

Lay down on the street my eyes toward the sun your star next to my face

Let the camera track me

From the footlights to the wings

Let me set aside an hour or two

In memory of sweet things

Regrind the lens again and again and again and again

But still the picture flips

Anyone here mentions "Hotel California" dies before

The first line clears his lips

Never get away never get away I am never ever gonna get away from this place

Lay down on the street my eyes toward the sun your star next to my face
