lyrics

Her mouth, it was moving, but no sound was coming out
and your back, it was turning, around
we were, always dreaming, of a day that would never come
Los Angeles, Los Angeles, I'm burning up for you
Hangin out the window, holding on to an afternoon
She knew, how to teach those, boys to fight
we were, always yellin, at the night, it would never come
And wanting, was it desire? you and I, we never won
Los Angeles, Los Angeles, I'm burning up for you
Well you walk the streets and you say goodbye
All along the river tonight
And if they tell you, you must go
Just look 'em in the eye
Say, "No, no, no my love is here"
