Way down a dark alleyway

And somewhere in the garden state

A girl from california waits

She has my name but not my face.

And I, tried to let her be someone

Hoping when the morning comes

She's not another hit and run that everybody knows.

The people disappear here, ah...

People disappear here, ah...

People disappear here, ah...

People disappear here, ah...

So let's say for goodness sake

That she cleans it up and finds her way

But a child can't affect her fate

And you pay, and you pay, and you pay.

And now, maybe if you see someone

Hoping when the evening comes

You're not another hit and run that everybody knows.

The people disappear here, ah...

People disappear here, ah...

People disappear here, ah...

People disappear here, ah...

I hurt myself to make sure I exist

I pinch myself to make sure that I'm real

I hurt myself to make sure I exist

I need someone to tell me how I feel.

'cause people disappear here, ah...

People disappear here, ah...

People disappear here, ah...

(People disappear here

People disappear here

People disappear here

People disappear here

People disappear here)
