The Distillers
City of Angels
[Verse 1]
It's going down
Tonight in this town
Cause they stare and growl
They all stare and growl
I take a scar
Everytime I cry
Cause it ain't my style
No, it ain't my style
Going down to the gravel head to the barrel
Take this life and end this struggle
Los Angeles, come scam me please
Emptiness never sleeps at Cliftons 6am
With your bag lady friend and your mind descending
Stripped of the right to be a human in control
It's warmer in hell so down we go
[Chorus][x2]
They say
This is the city
The city of angels
All I see is dead wings
[Verse 2]
It's a ghost town rabid underworld
Dionysian night vitriolic twilight
A mirage come up it never ends
Once you get born you're never the same
Left behind erased from time
Ain't no decency in being boxed up alive
Look around ain't no R.I.P signs here
We don't rest in peace, we just disappear
So here we are Los Angeles
No angels singing in your valley of unease
I watch the sun roll down the pacific
Over hooked sunset strip
[Chorus][x2]
They say
This is the city
The city of angels
All I see is dead wings
[Bridge]
There's a black moon tonight
Shining down on the western neon lights
There's a black moon tonight
Shining down on the western neon lights
[Chorus][x4]
They say
This is the city
The city of angels
All I see is dead wings
