[Verse 1]
The road is alive and everybody's all here
I'm closing my eyes till the colors appear
Oh me oh my, ain't it funny up here, to stand in the light?
Said I ain't came to Los Angeles just to die

[Chorus]
Are you getting a lot of attention now? (ahh-ahh-ahh)
Are you bleeding in every direction now? (ahh-ahh-ahh)
Are they covering you up with affection now? (ahh-ahh-ahh)
Are they giving you a lot of attention now? (ahh-ahh-ahh)

[Verse 2]
They told me my eyes would never be clearer
To hold on to mine, make good money out here
They told me those lies just a-grinnin' from ear to ear
They showed me a lie, they said, "here is our offer, ain't it fine?"

[Chorus]
Are you getting a lot of attention now? (ahh-ahh-ahh)
Are you bleeding in every direction now? (ahh-ahh-ahh)
Are they covering you up with affection now? (ahh-ahh-ahh)
Are you getting a lot of attention now? (ahh-ahh-ahh)

[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
The road is alive with the trouble and fear
Frozen and blind, that's how they couple out here
And oh me oh my, they call me colored up here
I looked in their eyes
Said I ain't came to Los Angeles, baby, just to die

[Chorus]
Are you getting a lot of attention now? (ahh-ahh-ahh)
Are you bleeding in every direction, ain't you now? (ahh-ahh-ahh)
Are they covering you up with affection, ain't they now? (ahh-ahh-ahh)
Are you getting a lot of attention, ain't you now? (ahh-ahh-ahh)
